I recalled an item on the news a couple of years ago, where Chinese farmers
were pollinating their crops by hand because pesticides and such had killed
off the bees. Here's an article about that:

Perhaps that might account for the difficulty in seeing bees in other parts
of China?

Hi Neil,
I really have no idea -but Hong Kong is very urban and I don't think pesticides
are extensively used.
Cheers
