What Beepocalypse?
March 28, 2016
From: Genetic Literacy Project
The latest bee population numbers for 2015 came out last week and while they are a guesstimate, they show a tiny (3%) decrease since their 20-year high from 2014.
No big deal to scientists, bee numbers fluctuate a lot from year-to-year and always have, and overwinter losses do not equal bees in decline, but activists are portraying it as an ecological catastrophe.
