[Pollinator] Scientists challenge CBD

[Stephanie Parreira]

While I agree that the data does not support the CBD conclusion, I also
think it is somewhat strange to switch from discussing the number of bee
species declining and counter it with CCD not being widely found in honey
bee colonies anymore. Honey bees are far from the only species of bee,
and *Apis
mellifera* is the only species of honey bee in North America. The article
seems to imply that not this many species are declining, because one of the
problems with one species went away.

I wish people writing about both sides of the argument understood what they
were talking about...
