are bees extinct?

No, but their populations are dropping, and when the bees are gone, the vegetables and fruit you eat will be too.

I have a few hives, and only about 60,000 bees.

Update:

I have not noticed a decline in populations, but would think my populations would increase better.

I have seen single hives with 60,000 bees.

You need to be more specific. There is not one species of bee. There are more than 16,000 bee species. We are generally seeing less bees in our gardens, etc. I suspect most of the other answers here are from the USA. I am in the UK. So this is obviously a widespread problem. The development of the diversity of bee species was roughly synchronous with the radiation of angiosperms (flowering plants). They are majorly important pollinators. If the bee species in Western Europe and North America go in to serious decline, let alone extinct, ther will be severe consequences for commercial crops and the human food chain.

Not by a long shot. First, it is only the honeybees that are in trouble, mostly the ones trucked around to pollinate crops. This suggests that it is a combination of stress plus the neocoticinoid insecticides that is causing the colony collapse disorder. The good news is that there are plenty of other species that pollinate plants. FWIW, I've seen more honeybees this year than I've seen in a long time.

Common sense says there'd be no honey available to buy on your store's shelves.

no, got buzzed by one yesterday

no.
