Various universities are doing research into Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and beekeepers are inspecting their bees more often to try and identify any problems at an early stage before they get out of hand.

In general, it is not legal to intentionally kill honey bees unless done by a licensed professional for specific reasons like pest control. Honey bees play a critical role in pollination and the ecosystem, so efforts should be made to protect and preserve them.
The best thing that humans can do for honey bees is to plant bee-friendly flowers, shrubs and trees and not use insecticides.
