It’s because of shareholder profit

Remember that honey-producing bees are terrible pollenators compared to the specific pollenators who don't produce honey. The honey producing bees being kept by everyone are artifically outcompeting the specific pollenators, which are what we really need to be supporting.

Okay, but how do I personally monetize non-honey making bees? Sure, the general ecology needs this, but what's in it for me, right this instant?

The running thought is these non-native European honeybees couldn't find forage at the right times due to climate change and these massive commercial hives died of malnutrition. That's why introduced species and monoculture agriculture don't work out so well.

Okay, but European honeybees in the US aren't exactly new afaik. That would be like if all of the sudden, 80% of wild horses up and die and the answer is "well, they're an introduced species, so it only makes sense".

Honey bees aren’t even native to the US

[–] InfiniteHench@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Those bees know what they did

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Mortified, but I am not a bee-ologist.

I'm not a bee, you're not a bee, so it sounds like a them problem.

(On the internet, nobody knows you're a bee.)
