Hi Trevor > there is an argument that there could be an upside for beekeepers. > There may be crops grown in areas that did not support them before. That statement rings alarm bells for me, if things shift like that the whole balance of the local ecosystem will shift, I would expect this to lead to more unstable beekeeping conditions rather than give a benefit.
