There are a number of things it would have been impossible to film in a studio.

Maybe the big question here is why the FUCK are private prisons allowed?

But it's unbiased. It said so.

There is no global decline of honeybees. There's a global decline of *bees.*

What they probably actually say is that Israeli aggression is as bad as Hamas aggression, but sure, you do you.

Exactly.

Bees are one of the most important *groups* on earth. Honeybees, however, are often invasive and outcompete native been species.

They look pretty decent - whitish tips is pretty normal. *But* you're right in that just putting them right back where they were only solves part of the problem.

Yeah, it's called shifting baseline syndrome. It's a big problem getting the public on-side with a lot of conservation projects.

No, sorry, I think you'll find it's A-26K Counter Invader Weaponry.

Not a boa constrictor. Reticulated python.

Yes, I know, but my point is that the vast majority of people see 'save the bees' and think European honey bees, when that's not really the message we should be sending. In much of Asia and (especially) the New World, European honey bees cause more problems than they solve.

Well, invasives are by definition non-native, ecologically speaking. All other things being equal (i.e. if the ecosystem's in OK shape), if you plant natives in an area it's very unusual for them to cause an ecological problem; it's likely more a case of them not benefiting the pollinators *we* want or can see. A particular plant might mostly benefit tiny wasps or flies as pollinators as opposed to conspicuous bumblebees, for example.

But can we perhaps have less of a focus on the (invasive in many places) honey bees and more of a focus on the thousands of other bee species which are usually much more useful to their respective ecosystems?

Neither - remora are commensal. They don't hurt or help.
