The worries of bee shortages goes much further back than 2007. At least as far as the late 1980’s. I have no idea about the veracity of the problem worldwide, but I Have been a farmer in several states over the past 10 years and have noticed no shortage personally. I do know that the bee die offs are generally related to kept bee species that live in large hives... There are in fact many different types of bee species. Many types of wild bees live naturally in much smaller groups, some even living in small family groups. These species, which are on the rise by some reports, may have been displaced and their populations reduced dramatically long ago by the introduction of bee keeping of large hive species on a large scale as a farming practice... it’s something no one talks about but it deserves some thought and research. Bee keeping is generally regarded by all as a “good” for nature and humanity.. but to some measure it could be a part of the root problem... I have no set opinion. I have tended kept bees on the farm. It is an enjoyable and mostly rewarding pastime. But there may be more to the story than most are considering.
