Well, I think the insidious problem about honeybees is that people often say “save the bees” and mean only honeybees. But it is a domesticated species that doesn’t need any saving. Meanwhile endangered species get forgotten altogether.
That seems a bit like complaining that cattle are replacing native deer.
They may occupy the same niche, but one feeds people and the other does not.
Yeah but people don’t make a big deal about “save the deer!” and then start a cattle ranch
When people talk about saving the bees they usually mean the ones responsible for feeding us.
Because deer are also invasive and aren’t needed for cattle breeding. Not a great analogy
