    I don’t think it’s an easy problem to solve. If honeybees lack natural habitats and breeding places, adding more bees won’t solve anything.

      It’s not only that, also the big accumulations of farmed honeybees in close proximity helps spread diseases (also to wild population), and the more Honeybees there are to produce honey for humans, the less natural food for the wild honeybees, as they compete for the same food sources.

      One could say eating honey helps to decimate the wild honeybee.

          Yeah, that’s totally solving above issues.

          Jokes aside, that’s also part of the problem, yes. The governments must legislate gardens and fields.
