Not sure who needs to hear this... but... honey bees throughout the world are an **invasive** species. They are only native to Europe. Stop trying to save invasive species!

@freemo Are you sure? @wikipedia states: "Honey bees appear to have their center of origin in South and Southeast Asia (including the Philippines), as all the extant species except Apis mellifera are native to that region. Notably, living representatives of the earliest lineages to diverge (Apis florea and Apis andreniformis) have their center of origin there." (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_be).
