Why honeybees? It seems like of all the bees out there, honeybees get all the attention. In North America, wouldn't it be better to encourage bee keeping of the species that are native to the region?
Honey bees are the easiest to manage really. Some other bees are raised for pollination, but honey bees have a long history of management and semi-domestication. We already know how to raise and manage big colonies for migratory pollination.
