Yeah most bees are wild unless you live near an apiary
If it’s actual honey bees you mean, then wild hives are virtually extinct in the UK thanks to [Varroa destructor](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varroa_destructor).

The majority will be from managed hives. There will be some which swarm and live wild but bees survive much better in hives so they are less likely to survive in the wild (it’s not due to varroa / it’s mostly about weather and food – it’s very common for beekeepers to feed bees so they don’t starve, and also to take precautions against wasps, mice and other predators.
