[Pollinator] Saving bees

[John Purdy]

This is an important message to communicate to the public.  Honey bees are
livestock. Their numbers and health depend on economic factors and the
quality of care by beekeepers.  When a single beekeeper moves 20 thousand
hives into a small area it hurts local small operators, but more
importantly it takes all available forage away from the wild bees that
depend on plant species that honey bees will collect food from.
