When people talk about saving the bees, the discussion almost never turns to native pollinators, including native bees.

Thanks for contributing that.

    Really? Because any time I see a post about bees, there's someone saying that honeybees are an invasive species.

    Maybe on Lemmy, but we represent a minority in social media. You'll tend to see more counter popular opinions on Lemmy for that reason.

    Either way, saving the bees should be about saving native bees where industrial has destroyed native habitat.
