I'd bet my life savings you don't actually feel this strongly about honey bees. And secondly, honey bees don't need "invasive agriculture" to survive or produce honey. They produce honey just fine from natural wildflowers and wildflowers benefit all the same from pollination.
I feel that strongly about native bees and honey bees cause problems for them so.. yeah. I’m big on native wildlife. Fuck invasive species.
Honeybees are not native where I am, and somehow we have so many crops that supposedly rely on them or they would fail entirely, how is that not invasive agriculture? People truck bees across the country to support these crops.
I’m not saying they can’t produce honey from native flowers, they can but that’s entirely beside the point, and that’s also competing with native bees, of which there are hundreds of species.
