Abstract in brief

  • The western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is important for agriculture but can threaten wild pollinators, leading to calls for regulating honey bees in natural areas.
  • The authors argue that honey bees are complex, with both native and introduced populations, and emphasize the importance of protecting wild populations and natural habitats for local bee subspecies.
  • They recommend distinguishing between managed and wild honey bee populations and advocate for integrated conservation efforts that include all endangered wild bees.]

@SaveWildBees Dear all, although I share some of the criticism about this campaign, perhaps it is also good to remember that Apis mellifera is native to a significant area of the world (Figure from Requier et al.

@BeeBabette This is not entirely true. Honey bees are wild in large parts of Europa (although in many countries nowadays extict in the wild), Asia and Africa. See here in a paper co-authored by members of our group @Zoo3_Wuerzburg: https://t.co/EpEErp0Baq
