When do managed bees have negative effects on wild pollinators? Week #1 of our reading group on this topic kicked off yesterday with the most comprehensive review of this topic to date by @remallinger @MallingerLab @GrattonLab https://t.co/xK2AbDQt02
this is a solid literature review that weighs the pros + cons of honey bees. the main issues tend to be: - honey bees outcompete native bees for pollen - they bring diseases that can infect native bees - they pollinate mainly non-native plant species https://t.co/hJMmZIpoH3

@HoneyIsVegan @deerfold @widar01 @mollslayy @theironyofjoy @ultrarotom Yeah, you're right. Not the best choice of article. Can you provide any evidence of the benefits of commercial honeybee keeping for the environment? https://t.co/sdErKo92HK https://t.co/ZqlUYVS2WH
@HoneyIsVegan @Nickle1011 @DoctorTro There are multiple reasons why, including the fact that honeybees have a negative effect on wild bees: https://t.co/5ajsuoeYKL And because this is about breeding/abusing/exploiting animals when you don't have to, which is all veganism is against.

@Magaberta @bienenanja Genau, bei Hummeln ist das schon länger bekannt, da sie schon früher kommerzialisiert wurden. Die Gefahr besteht aber auch bei anderen Wildbienen wie Mauerbienen. Dieser Review von 2016 erklärt die Problematik der Kommerzialisierung von Bienen sehr gut: https://t.co/dkYGpae9Lk https://t.co/e11LAoIvr9

@remivanbeekum @hotzehofstra @works_solar .Sorry, Remi, ik kon het toch niet laten. #Metastudie effecten honingbijen op native / "wilde" populaties zijn beslist "mixed", "many studies to date do not show direct or causal relationships between managed bees and wild bees". The whole lot: https://t.co/spbu3hYR04
#GardenersWorld Great to see ideas for bee-friendly trees on @GWandShows, but please don't confuse looking after honeybees with #bee conservation. There is some evidence to suggest honeybees compete with wild bees for food. See: https://t.co/IQg65R94BM

@Graham_Coop @_mikoontz Yes - one of the problems with backyard beekeeping is that the managed bees (honeybees) will eat up resources for wild bees. Probably more damaging is that backyard beekeeping can be a vector for disease between honeybees and wild bees if poorly managed. https://t.co/1NK4TPIZzr
