Too many people believe that keeping honey bees is good for the environment, when in fact it damages biodiversity since they outcompete native pollinators.

Honey bees also actively take pollen back to their hive, meaning relatively little of it is spread to other flowers. They're also often involved in pollen theft, where they take pollen, but don't spread it appropriately at all.
