My understanding is that honey bees are dying in farmed environments in the USA. Basically farmers will pay these large bee hive companies to bring bees in tractor trailers to their farm and let them out for a period of time to help pollutant their fields. These bees are the ones having record die offs, but from what I understand the die offs are less than the number of new bees being made.

Basically the efficiency of the corporate farming operation is decreasing, but the captive bee population is fine.

If someone out there knows better and has source information I would love to be corrected.
