[Harmless Teddy Bear]

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

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.

It's precisely what I said:

The industry is focused on honey production (for the hive owners), and following after the crop cycles of almonds, fruits, and so on.

Nonsense. Can you show me that domestic managed hives outnumbered feral hives at any time in history, prior to 1930 or so? My point is that poor breeding and commuter-pollinating are man-made phenomena, and resultant strains on the species should not be a surprise.
