*Torben Schiffer How modern beekeeping enhances nectar competition and
contributes to species extinction*

Interesting data presented (and discussion on this video. The crux of this
talk is the data on native pollinators being driven to extinction by local
beekeepers in Germany. With 17 colonies per km, the majority of all the
local nectar is consumed by honey bees. Starving the natives. Many local
pollinators have already been driven to extinction. Many others will
likely follow.
What can we as beekeepers do to stop our healthy robust hives from starving
out the natives?
