New study indicates bee populations are growing not declining

"...the bee populations within Europe, Canada and the USA are growing steadily. Only five percent of the European colonies lost more than 20 percent of their inhabitants during the winter in 2012/13. This indicates a generally healthy condition within the hives. In 2012 the FAO counted close to 17 million beehives, the highest amount since 2000."
