There are many species of Bombus that act as pollinators, also Syrphid
flies do a credible job BUT we do not get honey from them, so they are
less likely to be nurtured by humans. If you wish to bring up conspiracy
theories try the Melamine additives that were spotted 2 years ago in
everything from pet foods to milk formulas; or the paint used for
children's toys being heavily laden with lead.
Where oh where do we begin.

PS Genetic aberrations and socio-"whatever malady you want" may have
something to do with it.

Moths have an entirely different way of spreading than Hornets, and
the African Killer Bees are migrating from South America northwards,
they weren't shipped to a spot in NAm.
Unfortunately, humans drag a lot of crap around with them wherever they
go (and in whatever age they may have traveled in).
Then why wasn't the Asian Hornet also imported to America, which is importing
even more from China?
I wonder though, do the Asian hornets take on the larger Bombus species?
Would this matter to honeybees?
