I use to be a hobby beekeeper. The reason why the populations have been weakened is due to the varroa and tracheal mites. The hardest hit have been the wild bee populations, which have never been harvested. I gave up on trying to keep bees a few years ago, and will not try again until they get some good resistant varieties.
