2022 saw the second highest honeybee death rate on record—but with a lot of hard work, beekeepers kept populations "relatively stable."

Well at least:

“The situation is not really getting worse, but it’s also not really getting better,” Steinhauer said. “It is not a bee apocalypse.”

    I want a hive but it’s currently not feasible. So in it’s place, I’ve made my yard as bee friendly as I can by replacing most of the grass with clover and planting lots of native wildflowers and other pollinator friendly plants. I love my yard bees, there’s lots. Also seeing more fireflys this year than in the past several.
