So far, trying to control nature isn't going that well. The more we do, the more we fuck it up. Maybe we should give nature some time to recover from our destruction without intervention.

Generally you're not wrong but when it comes to European honey bees (which are the most common for honey production) they are presumed extinct in the wild. They need to be treated multiple times throughout the year (and it's increasing due to climate change). Also these bees have been imported to Americas where they are not native so controlling them is very important there.
