Lies and more lies. Commercial bee keepers are doing just fine.

When I was a kid a sizable number of the local farms kept hives. These days its far less common.

People who worry about “colony collapse” should take up beekeeping.

What do commercial honeybees have to do with bumblebees?

Besides, it’s not all fine. Beekeepers have been having problems for years with Varoa mites & now colony collapse disorder probably related to neonicotinoid pesticides. Europe banned them, we won’t.

Climate change is constant, we are no longer in an ice age and Britain no longer produces wine as in Roman times. Doubt there’s an issue.
