What? Like... what? I'm not in the slightest talking about that. Not ever. I'm talking about population numbers. While several wild bees are in danger of extinction, the honey bee is everything but. Yet still people get honey bees to "save the bees" which is not what this is about. The honey bees are taking the wild bees' place in many ecological systems, pushing the wild ones out.

Here is one source, my sources are mostly in German, but this one sums it up in English:

I thought domesticated honeybees were in extreme peril due to CCD. This is the first time in years I've seen any kind of source claiming they're doing ok. That's relatively good news, that at least some bees aren't about to vanish and so humanity has a nonzero chance at survival.
