An Ohio solar farm invited 3 million bees to work beneath its panels, make honey, and teach employees how to become beekeepers, and it is working. I had never come across solar beekeeping before, but it's an awesome synergy of nature and green energy tech!

Well I mean bee farming with solar panels is innovative, but bee farms won't save the bees. That would be like saying that birds can't be endangered, we have lots of chickens

    Yeah, unfortunately the best thing they could have done for native bees is plant native flowers under the panels and keep no honeybees.
