Yoon questioned:
(1) Why kept bees,
untreated, die eventually whereas the feral bees seem to thrive
on their own, thus making our “care” or “love” dubious,
questionable, and ultimately irresponsible?
I would like to hear some opinions on recorded observations of
truly feral bees and longevity. It would seem to me that accurate
observation concerning long term health and succession in a feral
setting would be difficult to maintain.
Perhaps some have situations where a colony is known without
question to exist over extended time without dying out and being
replaced by a new swarm.
