Definitely interesting that these honey bee keepers ended up pushing back against the bee crazy. Good for them.
In the US, honey bees are not native.
Plant native plants. Re wild parts of your yard. It’s sad to see our bumble bee population diminishing, especially given how they are far superior pollinators.
We’ve been letting some of the gardens that came with our house get wild rather than just veggies everywhere. We’ve gotten SO many bumblebees showing up the last 2 years. It’s been great. Love those little guys. Plus, far less effort than the previous owners had with their need for constant landscaping.

Exactly. I have some natives and more going in for next spring. Seeing all the native bees this year was really thrilling!
It hits different for sure, and it’s a good feeling
