Honey bees are not going extinct...

There are still going to be honey bees...
This story is consistent from what I have heard from bee keepers.  They said they lost quite a few hives to mites and disease over the past decade, but my not replacing the queens with mail order ones and sharing local queens that show resistance to start new hives, the bees quickly were able to build immunity to these parasites. The surviving hives are healthy and vibrant.

And then there are those Canadian bees.  Maybe Ted Cruz spoke too soon!
