Is there any evidence that the solitary bees are faring any better than the honeybees? They're subject to most of the same pressures due to insecticides and loss of habitat. Others here have linked to problems with the bumblebee populations.
I suspect that hives are the only way to get sufficient population density for efficient agricultural use, and the drop in agricultural output would be permanent.
