  Fun stuff, but you forgot that we reduced wild pollinator population by around 70%? Mainly due to the monoculture agriculture, and pesticide usage? The thing they are now needed for?

    Yeah well the reason for the reduced species diversity is the human. I thought this was obvious.

  What’s an industrial honeybee? In my head I have bees buzzing around wearing tiny hi-vis vests and helmets.

    So basically all honey you buy is made by the European honey bee, which is known for making lots of honey. Beekeepers place them in boxes and collect the honey. And basically once you have more than 20 hives you are commercially viable and that is what I mean with industrial

    Asia has a different kind of bee that Beekeepers breed, but almost all of the rest of the world is using the same species.
