Comment on New technology could save declining honeybee populations

bee populations are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, pesticides, parasites, and climate change.
Not sure why habitat loss is listed since honeybees are invasive in the U.S. We should be focusing harder on saving native pollinators.

Your point about honeybees being invasive in the U.S. is important. Habitat loss affects all pollinators, including native species that play a crucial role in local ecosystems. While honeybees are often highlighted, it’s essential to protect and restore habitats for native pollinators too. Supporting diverse pollinator populations ensures the health and resilience of our environment.
