Sentence Error Analysis:
"The rate" acting as the subject with its verb "has slowed" forms Clause 1, which is followed by Clause 2 without proper connection using either ", + FANBOYS" or "semicolon". This form of sentence structure is error nous and falls under the error category type named run on / comma splice error .
Option Analysis:
As per the above stated point, options A, C, E are eliminated.
Option D is incorrect for using "the amount of" with a countable noun "colonies". The correct usage would be "The number of colonies", which option B uses correctly.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

A. years, the number of which will however - which can point only to "the rate of honeybee colony", this is illogical.
B. years; the number of colonies, however, will - the corrects the error in original sentence and make the sentence logical. Correct
C. years, however the amount of colonies will - colonies is a countable noun, amount of colonies is not correct
D. years; the amount of which will, however, - firstly usage of amount is not correct and secondly which refer to the rate of honeybee colony, this is also not corect.
E. years, when the amount of the colonies will, however, - no need to when here to refer to the time, this distorts the meaning and use of amount is not correct as colonies is a countable noun.
