Sadly, over the past 15 years, colonies of bees have been disappearing, and the reason remains unknown. Referred to as ‘colony collapse disorder’, billions of honey bees across the world are leaving their hives, never to return. In some regions, up to 90% of bees have disappeared!
This is an environmentalist myth. I refer you to Hannah Ritchie's book:
“I used to think that our food system was entirely dependent on the world’s pollinators; that without them we would starve. But this is not true. Around three-quarters of our crops depend on pollinators to some extent, but only one-third of the total food we produce does.” (p. 208)
Stop fear-mongering, dude.

Gates, while an idiot and a creep, isn't an automatic guilt-by-association. Her (=Hannah's) statements, summarizing a set of research, are correct or not regardless of what Mr. Gates thinks

" Her (=Hannah's) statements, summarizing a set of research, are correct or not regardless of what Mr. Gates thinks" --how can you be so sur ?
So all the articles writing about it for years are wrong ? Bees pollinate 75% of global crops, including fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Their decline threatens food security and biodiversity, as many plants rely exclusively on bees for reproduction.

This might be true but I definitely don’t see as many bees out and about like I used too unless I’m near hives
