It’s due to pesticides and mismanaged hives from big Ag. Btw, I learned that some beekeepers would feed high fructose corn syrup to the bees, and a chemical that can form in that junk can kill them.
They use them to pollinate monoculture crops, then relocate them, and feed them sugar to produce honey. They are just another resource that big Ag mismanages.

Why would you feed bees anything? Just plant shit around them and they’ll feed themselves. It’s the easiest form of animal husbandry!
