Summary
Given the necessity of bees, the signs that they are in trouble are concerning. Although maladies of the domesticated honey bee (Apis mellifera), such as colony collapse disorder, have captured the most public attention, declines in the world's 20,000 wild bee species have the potential to be even more ecologically catastrophic.
