Exactly, and don't get me wrong, I do keep honey bees, but they aren't in danger in most countries. The Danish beekeeping association reported on a survey two or three years ago that showed little impact on honey bee from farming. The native bees aren't doing nearly as well.
A large portion of my garden is just stuff I don't touch, or where I planted bee friendly plants. There are hundreds of bees living under our side walk, but only the part in front of a single house on the street, mine. The neighbors a obsessed with keeping weed and insects way, so the their part of the side walk is sprayed relentlessly. Funny enough they don't care to shovel snow in the winter.
