JL Johnson :veri_mast:In case you didn’t know, honeybees are native to Europe. We brought them here. They aren’t “bad,” but they also shouldn’t be our primary concern. We have hundreds of native bee species here in the U.S. and many are tiny or solitary some are BETTER POLLINATORS than European honeybees.
