When people talk about the bees dying they usually mean honey bees. Those are the animals we have tamed, bred, optimized, industrialized, and on it depends the US food business (almonds, all sorts of fruit and berries). Is it pesticides? The mites? Who cares because nobody is talking about all the other bees, wasps, and bumblebees disappearing because theyโre not worth any money. 20 years ago our prof at the uni said that we had a 25-fold overpopulation of honey bees.
