That honey post keeps coming across my dash. Bur as far as I know, in North America Honey bees are bad for the environment? Native bees are what we need and honey bees cause declines in their numbers. Google brings a lot of articles on this. Here is one from scientific America. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-problem-with-honey-bees/
I’m not sure which honey post you mean, there are quite a few floating around making claims about honey ‘saving the bees.’
When we’re talking about honey, it is important to remember that we are discussing managed hives of domesticated bees, most of whom are non-native and compete with natural pollinators for the same food sources. It is even thought they may be spreading disease to wild pollinators, too, who do a far better job of pollination than managed hives do. This is why research suggests where domesticated hives increase, wild bees decrease.
The best way to actually support wild pollinators and their ecosystem is to grow local, pollinator-friendly flowers and to provide them with natural habitats and constructed ones like bug boxes, which are widely available to buy and very easy to make. The claim that exploiting bees for profit is in some way good for bees or good for the environment is nothing but effective marketing.
