Bees would never be at risk, they said. No way bees could be

I think every neighborhood ought to have a government subsidized bee keeper or some shit

I know that bees in general are facing problems, but as someone from Hawaii I have to say.

>one kind of bee out of hundreds of species, that lives on a tiny and fragile island ecosystem is declared engangered
>oh noes people have raped teh planet beyond repair save da bees!

the news is making it sound like honeybees. i'm not saying it doesn't suck but its like saying the ocean has reached apocalyptic status due to a single species of tuna dying

Everything on Hawaii is on the verge of extinction though

Do you know what different species are?
There are critically endangered species of rats, I guess that means rats as a whole are really close to dying out.

I don't know about hawaii but other places in the US have native bees declining because invasive honeybees have crowded them out. And these aren't trivial native bees. Many of them pollinate plants (like tomatoes) that require buzz-pollination, which is something that honeybees can never do. If you're going to have a bee species that goes extinct, better that it be honeybees, as harsh as that sounds. The US plant situation was doing just fine before the euros imported honeybees here.
