PS: do Ireland's and England's biggest honey producers even keep local bees?

Does that include bees they breed themselves?

I doubt they've bred bees yet that can commute

Ireland imports so many bees because the background bees are crap. They are the only country that has imported bees by the thousand and has the cheek to say it is a population worth saving.
All the imports are of native bees lmao.
Lowest honey production per colony in Europe.

It looks like nihbs have a four hive Green Party senator working for them?

Doesn't matter how good the bees are when there is no forage but I'm sure there is some scientific papers out there to discredit that assumption...

No they don't, because they are crap.
