Researchers have found that during the past five decades, the domestic honey bee population has declined by fifty percent.

although there has been a slight decline in Bee colonies, It is not that significant. In the early 1900’s they were almost wiped out and they bounced back. vampire mites are the biggest problem, and that problem is being dealt with presently!
