This has been the practice for more than a century. We saw the steepest declines post 2000s. While it almost certainly isn't helping, it's not the one root cause.

The practice wouldn't be problematic until after the parasites you are shipping with the hives evolve pesticide resistance.

As soon as that gene arises, spreading it across the country becomes a bad idea.
