There are different kinds of pollinators. Some bees are what is called buzz pollinators, and they are the best pollinators for a whole bunch of different plants. These bees are struggling, partially because we have too many honey bees who are out-competing them.

Yeah, but when people get dramatic about bees dying they're almost exclusively talking about the honey bee. A lot of people don't understand there are other kinds of bee.

When I look up metrics for bee populations dying I've not found anything that talks about bees outside of the honey making industry.
