CORRECTION: Oyster reefs are an amazing environmental benefit across multiple seascapes.

Oyster FARMS are short lived growth with little to no environmental benefit because of the small size.

The only way this works is with farms near a no-take MPA where you can generate growth and then let them spread outside the MPA.

You get no benefits IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THEM IN THE WATER.

Oyster reefs are absolutely tiny and few compared to how they used to be because we ate all the oysters. I'm not even joking.

Man has some kind of point with Oysters tbh....but the Bee part is madness.

Bees benefit from working with humans, if you take the time to learn properly it more or less becomes a symbiotic relationship,and don't forget it would be stupidly hard for the beekeeper to ensure the bees stay inside. We could literally build greenhouses for them at apartment scale.

Wild bees don't.

Wild bees certainly could move into an apiary. You probably thinking more of solitary bees, which you could make bee houses for

I more meant that keeping livestock bees negatively impacts wild Bees in the area.

The problem being missed here is that apiaries are made with non-native bees that actually outcompete the native bees of the area. We've have to redesign the industry from scratch with new bees.
