RE: World Bee Day 2022: about the most dangerous threats to bees and possible measures to protect them.

Like I mentioned in another post on the topic by gentleshaid, it's strange that honey farmers are so careless with bees, since with all other animals humans farm, we take care not to make them disappear! Isn't there a way for them to farm honey sustainably? For example, when it's not flower season, they could offer bees some alternative energy source so they won't need the reserved honey.

I wouldn't agree that beekeepers in general were careless. They aren't the ones who are responsible for the huge monocultures prefered in agriculture nowadays.
And yes, sure, in winter beekeepers feed their bees with sugared water. However, that doesn't change the fact that pollen from several different food sources in case of a high biodiversity is still the best way to keep the bees healthy with stable immune system.
