*Modern monoculture farming, commercial forestry and even well-intentioned gardeners could be making it harder for honeybees to store food and fight off diseases, a new study suggests.*

Good, interesting article. Worth the read.

I will say this, I know people in the southern US that raise bees on a small scale, but nevertheless belong to a bee club, etc., know quite a bit about it, and what they're saying is that bees are making a comeback in the area, in no small part because of interest from the people with one or two hives, and people trying to help out the bees instead of killing them.

Anyone have something similar to report? Different?
