<p>Interesting example. If you've published about that phorid
please send a citation. Thanks. I don't think we have those at my
high-altitude study site (Rocky Mtn. Biological Lab).<br>

I do a lot of bombus research here on the central coast in
California. I and have found much greater infestation by the
phorid fly,

queen</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><i

collecting near established honeybee apiaries compared
to when collecting </font><font size="3">in remote areas.</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font size="3"><font
size="3">It's long known that this native bee parasite has
jumped host species into non-native </font><font size="3">honeybees.
It's also probable that h</font><font size="3">oneybees

they are confronted with much higher numbers of phoned

<div class="PlainText">So, to stir the pot a bit,
wouldn't healthier honeybees be good as they wouldn't
spread disease to wild bees? And the efforts being
put forth by farmers to include wildflower strips on
their land, that wouldn't have happened without the
threat to honeybees, but should also benefit wild
bees/pollinators. I just think that we can't possibly
help one pollinator species without helping all. I
understand the messaging to the public is wrong, but
what the public really cares about is access to the
variety of food they want. Monocrops aren't going to
disappear anytime soon, and honeybees are needed to
maintain those. It's not an idea situation, but if we
take measures to support honeybees I think it will
only support native pollinators as well. I'd love to
hear discussion...<br>
