On a local AM radio garden broadcast, Walter Reeves said that on warm days in the winter in the Atlanta bees come out of hibernation hungry and die because of nothing blooming to feed them .... so encouraging people to plant winter flowering native plants.

Unfortunately, no distinction has been made in the media, but from what I understand the ORGANIC bee farms are still intact. Their bees are not disappearing. On Conventional bee farms, there are grand experiments taking place. Bees have to contend with genetically modified crops and pesticides. Couple those with ubiquitous low- frequency electromagnetic radiation saturation, which may disrupt the navigation system of many insects (and animals), and you may have a recipe for some significant dysfunction. All this is very stressful to the system of bees(bats, birds, etc...). Some people actually believe humans are immune to all the above. Well...the joke is on us...the experimentees.
