I can't say I care that honeybees died, but I can understand the impact this has to the agricultural fields of Alaska that rely on them.

I can't say I care that honeybees died, but I can understand the impact this has to the agricultural fields of Alaska that rely on them.

Even if they aren't native or great I still think that Delta should be held responsible for everything that happened. I would say though that mason bees and leafcutter bees are better though because they're much more portable but I'm not sure if it gets warm enough in Alaska for those types of bees to even survive there.
