Extinction of the American bee on Congressional record March 29 2007

ALL bees in America dead by 2035 on the Congressional record

Shortages were sufficiently acute that in 2005, for the
first time in 85 years, since passage of the Honey Bee Act of
1922, bees were imported from outside the United States to meet
pollination demand. Importing bees is risky and it increases
the chances of introducing new pests and parasites. Even before
CCD, we estimated, if honey bee numbers continued to decline at
the rates documented from 1989 to 1996, managed honey bees in
the United States will cease to exist by 2035.
