Here's the link:

(there is about 30 seconds of audio before it starts)

A 30 min piece on American commercial beekeeping by the BBC... I'm
about to start listening. It should be good. It features some of the
biggest (David Mendes, 20,000 hives?) and the best (Randy Oliver,
biologist/commercial beekeeper/bee
researcher,http://scientificbeekeeping.com...)

You can do the math. Let's start with the month of February. David
Mendes made about $2 million in revenue in February this year for
pollination. February in California alone paid out about $250
million in pollination contracts... It goes from there.

And Randy Oliver shows off his CCD collapsed colonies. He's one of
the few people that has been able to replicate the symptoms of CCD.
No pesticides involved.
