How did we get the beepocalypse so… wrong? Subscribe: https://freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe-beepocalypse

In 2006 bees started disappearing. Beekeepers reported to losing up to 90% of their beehives. And no one knew why. Nearly every news outlet raised the alarm, warning of an imminent beepocalypse that would devastate our food supply. But while alarm bells rang, things turned around. And bee colonies are now at a 20 year high. How did we get the beepocalypse so… wrong?

What do you think? Were we right about the story of colony collapse disorder (or ccd) and what happened to the honeybees? Or did we get it wrong and need to take beekeeping 101?
