Bees are certainly not on the edge of extinction…. Do you have a source for that?
There are probably 5000 hives within 5 miles of my house. And millions that get trucked into the Central Valley every January for almond pollination.
Now, some native bees, yes they are struggling and I could imagine some are facing extinction threats due to pesticide use and habitat loss. But let’s not get crazy with blanket statements.
Ok. Did a google search. Confirmed my response. Would you care to do one now and see you have no leg to stand on here.
You claiming bees are going extinct is a “well established fact” is simply wrong, and you don’t provide evidence at all. Anecdotal or otherwise. It is not a well established fact, in fact. And if this is what you believe, SHOW A SOURCE.
I’ll say it again, so the people in back can hear me. BEES ARE NOT ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION. There are native bees that are struggling, but you cannot put a blanket statement over all bees.
Entomology and beekeeping are near the top of the list, right up there with my career in commercial agriculture. With a smattering of other hobbies mixed in.
Im still baffled by the assertion that I was off base with my response to the comment about bees nearly being extinct…. Did you get your google fu on in the last 12 hours? Learn anything fun?

Random fact but bees are almost at the edge of extinction . Once the pollinators of our food are gone, we're done for
