"The overall honeybee numbers in the United States have stayed steady at
about 2.5 million colonies for the last two decades, dipping slightly
when the mysterious “colony collapse disorder” (CCD) hit in 2006, then
rebounded at a healthy clip and actually reached a 20-year high in 2014.
Europe and Canada have experienced significant increases in their
honeybee populations as well, and worldwide, there are 30 million more
hives today than in 1961, an increase of about 60%. That means there
about 1.5 trillion more bees buzzing around today than there were 50
years ago. There simply is no bee-pocalypse and never was."
