Did you read the entire article or just the paragraphs you quoted? It sure feels like you didn't read the rest.

It goes on and says the die-off is REAL. The number of human maintained bee colonies is continuing to go up but more effort is being put into maintaining those colonies because the die off means they have to employ new strategies.

The article also does not have any numbers related to wild colonies. It shows the number of human maintained bee colonies.
