I don't get the meme... They throw it all in the rectangular hole?
But the thing with the dying bees is just the marketing simplification, everyone involved knows that.
This meme can be taken a few different ways. This makes me think of this book I'll link below that shows how people get really hyped about certain species and forget about the rest of the ecosystem.

I also don't get it. conservationists are upset because?...
maybe if we knew the video the images were captured from.
I think that the joke is that European honey bees are used as a universal pollinator in half-assed greenwashing schemes this outcompeting native pollinators. Conservationists want to save all the other pollinators.
I envy you a little for not knowing this classic, you can experience it for the first time. The link is already in the comments.
Well then you'd love my flower garden cause it has all those and more cause I just saw the praying mantis eating well hiding among my wildflowers.
Hanging around the chive flowers in my garden this morning and loving watching all the little bitty bugs! There was a honeybee, sure, but also lots and lots of sweat bees and parasitic wasps and butterflies and ants too.
