Question

Some species of bumblebees have declined up to 96 percent locally.
New research shows that honeybee diseases may be spilling over to wild bumblebees.
People are more familiar with honeybee die-offs.
Bumblebee die-offs may be increasing because of efforts to save honeybees.
The causes of bumblebee die-offs have been largely understudied

Answer 1

The two correct answers that support the inference that people have been more concerned with the health of honeybees than wild bumblebees in recent years are:

1. People are more familiar with honeybee die-offs.
2. The causes of bumblebee die-offs have been largely understudied.

These statements indicate a greater public awareness and attention towards honeybee issues compared to the lack of attention given to the challenges faced by bumblebees.
