Why are honey bee’s in trouble?

There are many reason honey bee’s and other pollinator’s are in trouble, from disease and parasites to loss of habitat and overuse of chemicals. In light of some recent article’s being published by organizations that the honey bee is doing “just fine”, I would suggest reading the following articles published from several research organizations:

History of Managed Colonies (Penn State)

Wild Bee Population (Smithsonian)

The Honey Bee (Honey Bee Conservancy)

Honey Bee Survival (Discovery Magazine)

Hives for Hire (Penn State)
