The areas where the honey bees are thriving are in places that have some bans and limited usage of such chemicals. Can the information they gain from these bees help? Yes it can but what we really need to do is use natural things to limit insects and other pests from invading our crops.

KN,

I heard they tested bees and they don't think it's the pesticides that is killing them off. They aren't sure what it is. They have been talking about some disease that makes them lose their way home… but they don't know what started it all. The bottom line, if this can help it'll be a good thing.
