From a liability point of view, I am with Dick. It makes little sense
preserving any bees. Plus just one stinging incident will erase every
bit of good will toward beekeepers and bees.

We have had several pollinator trucks overturn in Maine and forget
trying to save one bee. They are immediately sprayed down. Not worth
doing anything else when the public safety is involved.
