There’s been some alarming news about honeybees so here’s some important context. If you want to help bees, help native bees - bumbles in particular.
Instead of honey bee hives, plant native plants. Contact your local native plant society or garden shop and every where you can, plant native.

If you understand evolution enough to know this already, great! But memes/youtubes/etc reach folks with no biology background. Science has been twisted to justify bad things, such as eugenics, before. NOT IN CRABS' NAME.
