I know a lady florist that built huge attached greenhouses with bee hive access .. her bees fly in & collect pollen from acanthus to zucchini. That seemed to be successful. The plants & honey sold was used to set up more hives & greenhouses. Delicious honey.

Is there any correlation to invasions by other aggressive species, like Southern killer bees or Giant Asian Hornets who feed Honey bees to their young?
