Are there endangered bees now?

[Edit]
Yes, actually there are. Honeybees are dying and we need to save them because they keep a lot of the earth's vegetation alive.

I have also heard that Honey Bees are endangered, but they are not to be mistaken for the common Western Honey Bee. Lastly, another species that is endangered is the Shrill Carter Bee of the British Isles.

Yes, though not officially listed as endangered, we have presently lost over 70% of our honey bees and other pollinators, through a suspect virus that has been traced, so far, to Australia. Without pollination, trees and plants don't die, they can't reproduce, thus no fruits and nuts or future plants and trees. When you are outside, look around, roughly 80 % of the plant life around you depends on bees.
