I have no personal anecdotes to bring in here, but they said: > Part of the reason wild bee colonies are collapsing is because of the diseases cultivated by commercial colonies. So if another bee comes at the cost of multiple existing bees, that's a problem.

And why is one bee more important than the other? Not sure diseases are 'cultivated' by anyone - they are unfortunate wherever they occur. Again, not sure what the idea is.

  Well, the point as I understand it is that it will eventually lead to the extinction of all/most bees - and plenty of other species, perhaps including humans. The scale is my assumption, but the point appears clear to me.
