Europe is at the forefront of this movement to castigate practical beekeeping in favor of “rewilding. From the “Learning from the Bees” manifesto:

	• The many years of natural beekeepers’ expertise with managed and wild bees worldwide - and now validated by recent findings of progressive independent science - point to a clear need to support honey bee conservation and rewilding measures, reduce “managed” honeybee colonies in regions of high density, and widely restore chemical free habitat and a diversity of nutrition.

	• Conventional/industrial and chemical based beekeeping practice exacerbates the problems. The honeybee must be freed wherever possible from economic paradigms and accorded a place in our culture that is worthy of its supreme importance to our lives.
