Humans have been raising bees for honey and pollination for 2000 years at least.

Man has not been trucking bees in artificial hives thousands of miles every few months, for thousands of years. This is a recent phenomenon.

Bees are sensitive to the sun (and possibly magnetic influence). The stress of this constant movement is enormous.

No, but that is not what you said.

Bees, for a species that until 130 years ago was content to live in hollow logs to have been domesticated and forced to carry the burden of producing the world's food supply from artificially created homes, some of this is not unexpected.

That is what you said. Nothing about trucking the bees around just a complaint about bees being forced for the past 130 years to live in "artificial homes" and being used for pollination. This has been going on for over 2000 years.
