Do you think there are no vegans in Europe?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Probably yeah. But also the European honeybee is not the only European bee nor pollinator so the argument holds true to some extent.

However I'm not convinced the impact is worse than the monocultures which makes up the majority of our calorie intake. Thousands of hectares of nothing but beets or corn probably does more for killing insect diversity than a handful of beehives, but what do I know.
