Wait, does America suddenly have a record number of bees?
We’ve added almost a million bee colonies in the past five years. We now have 3.8 million, the census shows. Since 2007, the first census after alarming bee die-offs began in 2006, the honeybee has been the fastest-growing livestock segment in the country! And that doesn’t count feral honeybees, which may outnumber their captive cousins several times over.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports, the bison population has declined by three percent.
And don't even ask about llamas.
