It's kinda weird to immediately jump to conclusion that a species is extinct after not seeing it for few years, when it's so rare that it eluded discovery until 2011.
Reading the article, no scientist is quoted as fearing the bee to be extinct. It seems to be an embellishment from the article author.

You should be praying to science. Last time he decided to make a full wipe, that god made a single backup (!), put it on a boat made by an amateur and then even forgot about it. I would trust him my data as much as the next google storage product.
It's not as one-sided as all that, if you want to look at it that way. Who invented DDT? Who, not satisfied with having nearly wiped out the large raptors, then went on to make the same mistake but far worse with neonicotinoid pesticides, risking not "merely" worldwide trophic cascades, but the wholesale destruction of a critical participant in the food chain that permits humans to go on living at all? Science is man…

It's a different species though, this is the Australian one: https://imgur.com/X1vf3v4 Oddly enough they're solitary, rather than living in hives.
is this Australian? seems like it's endemic to United States FL. https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.8725...
