>honey bees are dwindling
It seems they are not dwindling.
That was one of the clarifications of the piece. The bigger concern is the number of species rather than the number of honeybees.
- henearkr 4y agoI'd say that it is difficult for me to agree that the honey bee apocalypse is getting any better at all, as, in Europe at least, everybody is deploring a huge mortality in bees, and explicitely pointing the pesticides as culprits. But in case it would "seem to get better" (e.g. in the US), I agree: if honey bees are dwindling at some point (the wake up call), it shows that there is a bigger concern, but the bigger concern is still there even if we see again honey bees, it's an insect apocalypse (and we'll always see honey bees anyway, because they are actively bred by humans using nutrients grown with intrants from good ol' fossil fuel energy and all).
