What do commercial honeybees have to do with bumblebees?

Besides, it’s not all fine. Beekeepers have been having problems for years with Varoa mites & now colony collapse disorder probably related to neonicotinoid pesticides. Europe banned them, we won’t.

Climate change is constant, we are no longer in an ice age and Britain no longer produces wine as in Roman times. Doubt there’s an issue.

Honey bees are non-native to the US, so there’s that. Toss in the fact that large bee die offs over the winter aren’t that unusual and have been effectively dealt with every year. Globally honey bee populations are larger than in the last half century. So where’s the problem?
