      Bees are not going extinct. Only the colonies kept by man have declined and that's because they are too close together. The 400 plus kinds of wild bees in my arra are fine.

      The risk of bees extinction is not the overlook western Honey bees but the natives bees like stingless bees carpenter bees bumblebees and orchid bees !

    Actually you missed the whole point of the bee-extinction. It's about wild and solitary bees, that are going extinct. They are often specialised in the native flora and a lot more effective pollinators than European honey bees.

      Well the classic point is about CCD, which is only relevant to honeybees, the vast majority of wild bees do not live in colonies.
      Wild bees are dying because of classic problems, mainly pesticides, reduction of wildflowers, and nesting areas.

      @@stupiddude6824 Maybe take another look at the title and the thumbnail, the topic is supposed to be bee extinction, not CCD.
      But you are right, CCD is not relevant to the topic of bee extinction.

    Farmers DO pay for bees. Every spring you'll see trucks carrying hives to the farms that have paid for them. Sure, neighboring farms benefit, but crop yields are lower on them. I know, I've worked on farms whose crops absolutely depend on bees.

    Wild pollinators are very important and the effect of intensive agriculture where I live is notable.
    Owners of orchards or vegetable growers pay a lot for bees who travel 100's of km.
    And as a fun fact: a farmer I knew sold his honey as organic while being surrounded by others who were not.

    I don’t quite understand why such an insignificant amount of time was dedicated to wild bees. Is it seriously not a problem according to this channel?
    With a platform such as this one, wouldn’t you spend more time educating your audience on the importance of native bees? Otherwise, to me it comes across as “we shouldn’t worry about bees in general.”
    Regardless, great video lol

    "Science" used to require people to learn about a subject and make observations in the real world. Now, public intellectuals just make abstract mathematical models from their ivory towers and have no interaction with reality. Better yet, as long as they reach the conclusions that their politically well-connected sponsors paid for, their work will be shielded from academic scrutiny. Companies like Philip Morris are far from the only set of deep pockets with agendas that do not coincide with the public good. The practice of laundering bad research through academic journals without legitimate scrutiny will only serve to further topple the public's crumbling faith in our institutions.

    First off, taking money from a non profit (even well intentioned ones) and then doing a puff piece is no better than taking money from a corporation and doing a puff piece. Have some integrity for gods sake, secondly the bee issue and crop pollination apparently aren’t linked like so many surface level videos imply. Honey bees were struggling and that is serious but they don’t contribute to the bulk of crop pollination, that’s done by wild bees and is a totally different issue and they are not in decline. This video is factually inaccurate, has no integrity due to the sponsor as how can it be an unbiased look at a topic under those circumstances and has seriously dented my trust in anything this channel says going forward.
