I have been a so called beekeeper for 39 years. Worked around bees from 
1950'ish.

Since Varroa and neonics have enter the equation, trouble has been the norm.

Personally I think both are equal to blame. Varroa is a bad pest. Neonics 
build over time

and present a larger problem. Pollen is contaminated and hurts inside the 
brood nest.

All things added and problems are severe.

Beekeepers are not very different than 59 years back.
