“The situation is not really getting worse, but it’s also not really getting better,” Steinhauer said. “It is not a bee apocalypse.”

Quick reminder that these honeybee hives are not the natural local pollinators in north america. You can support pollination by making an environment friendly for your local pollinators. Plant bee friendly wildflowers. In my area mason bees are local and popular. They don’t make honey but they do keep the veggies and fruits going.
Of course I don’t want honeybee hives to collapse, but don’t get the impression that they are the only pollinators.
I want a hive but it’s currently not feasible. So in it’s place, I’ve made my yard as bee friendly as I can by replacing most of the grass with clover and planting lots of native wildflowers and other pollinator friendly plants. I love my yard bees, there’s lots. Also seeing more fireflys this year than in the past several.
I don’t know what the situation in America is, but on the old continent, most insects are dying.
