Honey bees have no business being in the USA in the first place. They are an invasive species. They cannot pollinate our local plants, and they displace our native pollinators. They are harmful to our ecology in North America. The only reason they are here is to be exploited as agricultural animals, but you've been manipulated into fearing that your entire food system is predicated on an insect that in reality produces nothing but sugar syrup.
