I'm sorry, I'll read that again

Bees: Many British pollinating insects in decline, study shows

As reported by the BBC, the study (which you can find here) says:

The "losers" include solitary bees, which live in burrows in the ground, and upland bees, living on mountains and moorlands. Among the "winners" are 22 of the most important crop pollinators.

So a perfectly good headline would also be:

Numbers of important pollinating insects on the rise, study shows

In other words, "I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that." {Dr Ben Goldacre}
