I just read a novel talking about a world without bees that had for consequence the 3rd world war.
Did you know all those 3 generate the extinction of bees :
-Climate change,
-Insecticide,
-Asiatic hornet (4 stings kill a man)

I see more and more dying bees each year. It is so frustrating and sad.
It seems the future is full of robots. Even tiny robot bees. That's not the solution IMO. I would prefer to save the bees.
Which novel is it?

To save bees is the only solution ...
In the book, they found a old queen bee from 1100 in the wax and they are able to revive
Bees have been selected for centuries in order to be docile to men ( to avoid sting) and so they are not strong anymore especially to face hornet.
A bee stings once and then loose its stinger vs asiatic hornet that never lose their stinger
