yep, unfortunately even when people have been rearing these bees for centuries, now they are struggling for surviving. Mostly because of deforestation and competition with Honey bees, wich are not native from this continent.

With the dwindling Bee population more of Bees reared in captivity we have the better. We have to find a way of saving the Bees!
