What can I do about climate change?

I wondered, but couldn't make sense of that. How is providing commercial bees in bulk a detriment to the environment? When is another bee a problem?

I have no personal anecdotes to bring in here, but they said:

So if another bee comes at the cost of multiple existing bees, that's a problem.

And why is one bee more important than the other? Not sure diseases are 'cultivated' by anyone - they are unfortunate wherever they occur. Again, not sure what the idea is.

Well, the point as I understand it is that it will eventually lead to the extinction of all/most bees - and plenty of other species, perhaps including humans.

The scale is my assumption, but the point appears clear to me.
