as a hymenopterist I for one would not cry a drop for the honeybee. this
beast has pretty thoroughly depleted our native bee populations by being far
aggressive at the pollen and nectar sources. the native bees would be just as
capable of the pollenation of most crop if given a chance and would also be
less affected by such things as mites and such
