There are other species of wild bees besides honey bees. Are they not affected by this?

  It's unlikely. Wild bees are not affected by the same diseases and parasites, have much more genetic diversity, and are adapted for this climate. Honeybees are not native, they have less genetic diversity from domestication and importation, and they are transported around the country by beekeepers every year (spreading their diseases and parasites around.) Nor do they have to deal with their produce being taken by humans.
