Craig Newmark:
OMG! What will we do when all the bees die?
My suggestion: Don't worry. Like other apocalypic environmental disasters we've been warned about, this one, too, is 99.9% bogus. Work done by NC State economist Wally Thurman, Montana State economist Randy Rucker, and Oregon State entomologist Michael Burgett is extremely persuasive that there isn't a problem. See Wally briefly explain in this short video with John Stossel. Or read Wally and Randy's piece in the Wall Street Journal from about two months ago. Or read this brief piece by Shawn Regan of PERC.
