Actually, honey prices have doubled since 2006 (http://www.honey.com/honey-industry/honey-industry-statistics/unit-honey-prices-by-month-wholesale http://www.honey.com/honey-industry/honey-industry-statistic...). That doesn't invalidate your other points, but there's definitely a sustained, long-term rise in prices, though the exact driver is not necessarily CCD.

- tptacek 11y agoPerhaps the better thing to look at is the cost of pollination services, or of honey bee queens. It's pretty easy to find pollination prices online.
