If you read towards the bottom of the first page, it explains why blueberries in particular are affected by this problem:

"Blueberries are the most vulnerable crop to a honeybee shortage because they bloom earliest!. Later crops have other insect pollinators available because of warmer weather"Www@FoodAQ@Com

EVERYTHING is expensive nowadays!. it's because of gas prices!. anything that has to get transported, is now expensive!.
