Honeybees aren't native to the US, and in commercial farms are far more prone to disease, which they've spread to the native bee populations that just sort of exist in nature, wiping out massive portions of the native bee species in the US.
Honeybees are the only pollinators of some human food crops; I believe they were brought here specifically to pollinate apple trees, which are also invasive. Point being, we've killed off a great number of natural pollinators so we can grow certain invasive crops, using commercial bee farms with related familial lines that make them all prone to the same diseases that then spread through the densely populated farms, resulting in colony collapse.
I blame commercial honeybee farming practices, myself.

Glyphosate and other forever poisons. Plus all the new invasive predator insect species coming in with globalism
