@Comanchegyrl Luckily bees always make too much honey, but it's good to remember and be grateful for the symbiotic relationships we've developed with them <3
@Nimthiriel I think the symbiotic relationship we have is parasitic symbiosis. I don't think we do anything good for bees. But I am grateful for their work.
@Nimthiriel That's true, but we also spray a lot of chemicals that harm them and we have decimated the wildflower population in favor of grain crops and destroyed natural habitats. I'd say it all balance out, except that. bee populations are on the decline worldwide.
@Nimthiriel Although honeybees aren't native here, we do have wild honeybees. There are at least 3 hives in our pecan orchard now. No Killer Bees yet though!
@Comanchegyrl Oh good! Killer bees are not much fun, I imagine!
@Comanchegyrl Yes, pesticides are a huge problem. Here in Australia, honeybees are fine but our native bees (which are solitary and don't produce honey) are in big trouble :(
