MODERATORS
Won't the death of honey bees be a good thing in the US, apart from no more honey. Aren't they invasive and really outcompeted native bee species
You're assuming the factors resulting in honeybee decline aren't also affecting native pollinators?
Okay fully agree, but should you still be focusing on invasive species or should you then spend the energy, time and resources rather on the native pollinators? Why continue to give honey bees any attention, they would immediately benefit if there is a pesticide problem causing their and native pollinators decline.
