    Beekeeping is centered around the European honey bee. Talks about "bee population" in reference to domesticated beekeeping are meaningless and promoting migratory beekeeping like that actually hurts local bee species (which are also more effective pollinators than European honeybees) by introducing competition for flower nectar.

    Beekeeping is good for beekeepers, not the environment. It is not mutual benefit for humans, it is another form of exploitation and introduction of invasive species to produce just one more form of sugar for us to eat.
