I'm fed up of this story. Our bumble bee population has been in decline for many years and it's nothing to do with lack of nectar and pollen.

I thought there was also a problem with Varroa Bee mites that a - decimating the current bee population - starting to become resistant to the only treatment available That's honey bees and a different story.
