Here's a mainstream media article (sadly behind a paywall) about why
"saving the [honey]bees" never made sense but became "a thing" anyway:

  https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2024/05/honeybees-at-risk-cultural-myth/678317/

I think it mostly gets it right (aside from the oft-repeated
and not-so-proven statement that "Honeybees are responsible for
pollinating roughly every third bite Americans eat").  I'd be
curious to know what other on this link think about it.


Anne, formerly a Montreal backyard beekeeper, recently relocated to
New Brunswick, and not currently keeping bees.
