Oz to the rescue, again:

from fisherking's article: "...a beekeeper from Columbus, Mont., said he spent $150,000 in the last two weeks buying 1,000 packages of bees — amounting to 14 million bees — from Australia.

He is hoping the Aussie bees will help offset the loss of one-third of the 7,600 hives he manages in six states..."
Agri-business using illegal aliens to do work the US bees no longer want to do for such low wage/forage. Heh.
