Agreed. In Europe i understand that the threat to the bees that are not part of beekeeping, is the real problem. Insect populations in general in Germany, as an example, have plummeted by 75% in three decades. Many insects beyond bees act as pollinators. The focus on honeybees brings it to attention, but there is a much wider problem.
The lobbying from the German chemical industry against stricter regulation is very strong, and we are seeing the result of that now.
Also a beekeeper.
