Something I didn't see discussed in this honey bee vs. native pollinators issue is the conditions during WW II when honey bee colonies were near 6M, a great diversity of agg/native plants, fewer designer crops, and fewer pesticides/herbicides vs. now with some 3-4M colonies, great expanses of monoculture with a lack of native plants, engineered crops and how many, stronger pesticides/herbicides? Now honey bees are the problem?! Are you kidding me?!
