I love bees and ants, but I love bees the most. I would recommend people to study the behavior of bees and ants. Additionally, honey, propolis, etc. are super healthy, and we can thank bees for that.

Not that I want to curb your enthusiasm for bees, but…

I recently read that honey bees in particular get the most attention from humans lately, so they are kept in high numbers.

This has some adversarial effect on other pollinators, which hurts ecosystems more than it helps.

    Why would what you said curb my enthusiasm for bees though?

    Can you provide me more specifics on this by the way?

    > This has some adversarial effect on other pollinators, which hurts ecosystems more than it helps.

    What are those adversarial effects, what other pollinators, and how does it hurt the ecosystem more than it helps?

    I do not mind bees having kept in higher numbers, and beekeepers can do it anywhere without affecting the ecosystem, I believe.
