Honey bees are called nectar robbers for a reason!!!

I don’t want to see anymore of that “save the bees” bullshit with a honey bee as the ONLY BEE shown. Our native pollinators like wasps and bumble bees are FAR MORE IMPORTANT to our environment.

Honey bees to not interact with pollen in the same way as our native pollinators, and they often aren’t even pollinating AT ALL when they take nectar from flowers, due to how they collect the pollen into cakes when they groom it off themselves

Lastly, our native plant life NEEDS native pollinators. Not only are honey bees far less efficient at pollinating in general, but over 1000s of years, bumble’s and other native bees have LITERALLY EVOLVED alongside these plants to be better and more efficient pollinators.

Like any other livestock, honey bees are a source of disease and pestilence, illness or parasites from a HB hive can spread rapidly to other native pollinators in the area, who are on their own if they get sick.

In addition to taking up resources, there is also usually just some serious overcrowding in general, introducing a huge swath of bees into an environment where they are not supposed to be (lol) is NOT A GOOD THING!!

Firstly, since honey bee hives cannot be contained like other livestock, they easily outcompete native pollinators, they live in posh bee hotels and are protected by bee keepers and their wooden hives. There is simply not enough food to feed thousands of HB’s and the native bees

Honey bees are NOT NATIVE TO NORTH AMERICA

Sure they pollinate, sure they make honey, but their presence is actually detrimental to native pollinators like the beloved bumble bee
