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.

If the author himself feared them to be extinct, then it's technically true...
