Honey Bee's Rebounding After Pesticide Ban

An article at the Globe and Mail claims that there is no longer any Honeybee crises, and that the deaths of the Honeybees previously was a one-off, or possibly non-cyclical occurrence (caused by neonics or nature — the debate is still out).

The data used is that from Stats Canada which claims "the number of honeybee colonies is at a record high [in Canada]."

Globally, the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization says that "worldwide bee populations have rebounded to a record high."

The story reports:
"I have great news for honey lovers everywhere.

 The Canadian honeybee industry is thriving.

Despite those headlines about mass die-offs and and killer pesticides, the number of honeybee colonies is at a record high.

Last year, according to Statistics Canada, nearly 700,000 honeybee colonies produced $200-million worth of honey.

Bee survival rates have rebounded even in Ontario, which was hard hit by unusually high winter die-offs."
