Many beekeepers order their bees online and have them shipped live from bee factory farms. The bees are shipped live to them via the mail, where many get crushed to death and become sick. Factory farms are the biggest customers of antibiotics, because you cannot kill 750 billion animals a year without many becoming sick from being in close proximity. Bees are no different, but they do not receive any antibiotics. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/beekeepers-honeybees-wild-bumblebees-pollinator-decline-a8976101.html https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/beekeepers...
