Not So Sweet?

The Marks and Spencer brand hoped to get environmental kudos with its plan to release 30 million Honey bees in a group of 25 UK farms (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/apr/16/marks-spencer-honeybee-project-threat-biodiversity-conservationists-aoe). The Honey bees were scheduled to go into 1000 antique beehives, to produce a 'single estate honey', which M&S would sell. I suspect the company will have been taken aback to be attacked by conservationists. The conservationists are seriously worried about the impact of this concentration of Honey bees, on the survival of endangered pollinators in the area. Many Bumble-bee species (and other Hymenoptera) are currently seriously endangered. The Honey bees would 'hoover up' all the nectar and pollen, leaving the wild bees to starve.
