How is the honeybee now?

Not heard a thing about it but I have seen more bees this year than last and humming birds

I think (hope) they are making a bit of a comeback. Last year at the local farmer's market and guy who had bee hives was finally getting enough honey to sell at the market. He said there was some kind of fungus, I believe, that had infected hives and killed the eggs. I saw some honeybees in my yard last summer, and I hope they come back this year.

Honey bees are great pollinators but there are native bees and other insects that are doing good at it also. Honey bees are imports that did not exist here before the Europeans came across the ocean. We need to make sure to help the native pollinators because by relying on honey bees so much , something like this fungus could wipe them out and then there would not be many fruits and vegetables unless there were enough native pollinators. Learn about which kind(s) of native pollinators are in your area and how to help them to palmate your (and your neighbors) crops.

I haven't heard any news about them recently. I do remember reading something about how cellphone tower frequencies might be harmful to them, throwing off their instinctive navigation. But it seems like there are a lot more bees around where I live than there were last year, which is encouraging. I hope that means they're doing better.
