From Dr. Sheila Colla, a leading expert on native bumblebees:

For #WorldBeewashingDay, I mean #HoneyBeeDay #WorldHoneyBeeDay, I'd like to remind everyone that in North America Honeybees are not native, have been documented competing w/ native bees & spreading diseases. Let's do better than spread misinformation. #SaveWildBees

Non-native honeybees are part of agribusiness, not nature, in North America. And their populations have been growing. Unlike the native bees they compete with for nectar, which are dying off.
