Are honey bees still disappearing?

In 2013 there was a 45% loss reported by beekeepers, whereas in 2015 there was a 30% loss.

There are three primary reasons for honeybee loss: The Varroa mite, pesticides and poor nutrition. Media puts blame on pesticides, while science is blaming the mite. Poor nutrition due to manicured lawns, more pastures being mowed for aesthetics, and weed spraying along roadsides have caused Colony Collapse Disorder.

Research also shows where queens once were replaced every few years, now many don't make it through one summer.

Hopefully Mr Hallock will take center stage and type up some worthy explanation as to how the bees are doing these days.
