Frankenbees, why not bumblebees? almost no bees except for the bumble var
here, with spectacular bloom period. over croped elstars taking a year off.
spigold , ashy bearer here, had huge bloom and good set. keepsake overcropped
last
year and shy this year. trees still getting pollenated
pOur lone honeybee hive at the Research Center died during the winter (We did
use imidacloprid last Fall on grapes that the honeybees seemed to forage for
sugar in). We do not have many fruit trees, probably less than 50, but
pollination was excellent in our apples with few honeybees present.

Are you suggesting the possibility of Frankenbees? I can see an issue
with bees spreading pollen from GM crops to non-GM crops, but I
don't see what effect it would have on the bees, themselves

I find it difficult to believe that giving bees a square house to live in

Bees did not evolve living in square boxes, and for a human to believe he
can think like a bee is probably somewhat shortsighted also that is only one
adjustment
