"it is easy to confirm that the bees have largely disappeared." Not in my yard, but that is because I bought my own beehive. Neighbors with gardens have thanked me for bringing bees back into their gardens. Luckily, urban bees away from commercial farmer fields can still thrive...just need more people in the burbs to start raising them. There are lots of decorative shrubs, trees, and flowers to feed on and there are not nearly as many chemical hazards to avoid...especially in a bad economy where more people let their yards go to "weeds". Long, weedy yards are a bees best friend. Fun facts: A single strong beehive will produce 5 gallons of honey a year above what the bees need to survive the winter. A male bee gets to have sex once in its life ("if it is lucky") at which point its "penis" explodes and it dies.
