I live in southern New Mexico and previously lived in Arizona. There are at least two hives of wild bees near my house. I don't know where the hives are, but I know it is more then one because the bees leave in two different directions. I put out water for them in a pan and during these super hot days the pan is covered in bees. I also know the bees are wild because I have no neighbors and no one would put hives out here. When I lived in Phoenix I had bees invade my apartment one time. They built a nest in the apartment wall of my bedroom (the wall was hollow with stucco). The upstairs neighbor called and complained about bees, and maintenance came and spray foamed the bees hole. Whereupon the bees proceeded to eat a hole out through my windowsill and into my bedroom. I came home one day and apartment was full of bees and they had to get a specialist. I sat in my vehicle (with the windows rolled up) and watched him cut open the wall and extract an amazing amount of honey and pesticide a huge cloud of bees. I don't fully believe the alarm in the article. Bees are all over Arizona. But I do believe intense heat probably affects domestic hives. However I think for the most part with water they do just fine as a colony. I've observed it, it has been 110F many days here this summer and there is no shortage of bees at all. They survive in very hot weather fine if they have water. They seem to spend a great deal of their day at water holes and they must carry some back to the hive somehow. During the hottest part of the day they seem inactive. I think cold is actually much more deadly to bees.
