Nature is incredibly resilient, meaning that this can be reversed. In fact, it can be done so without a ton of effort, but farmers are stuck in loop of subsidies that makes it hard to break free and maintain income. Because of the massive corporate pressure from companies such as Monsanto, the whole game is rigged.
For those who want to do what they can, plant some pollinator attractors. Get a bunch of flowers growing. Don't pull your dandelions. Ask a bee keeper to put a hive on your property.
Some recent studies by Stemens and others have shown that the effects of the mites can be greatly reduced by the presence of mycelium in the soil. As it turns out, when bees have access to mycelium, they'll ingest it, which boosts their immunity to the mite and the diseases they carry. But this fungal base cannot survive in environments where constant spraying is keeping it from growing.
