So, we're "buying" new bees to offset the bees that die?

Uh... forgive me if I seem a little dense here but... where the hell are these store-bought bees coming from then? The moon? If the mass hysteria of CCD continues unabated, does that mean that bees WON'T go extinct because we can simply "buy" more bees from God at the God® store?

Are we back in the 1800's when spontaneous generation still held some ostensible sway over mother nature? Do they spontaneously materialize and transmogrify from some other form of matter? Do flowers transform into bees because the two are actually the same?
