  2. Many bee’s die every day. Their life-span is not long but It has a good period. If you breed enough of them fast enough It could have a positive impact on the honey bee population world wide. Maybe not that much but my answer to your question is yes.

  3. I wonder if one could provide bees places to live out in the woods, like putting up birdhouses to help endangered birds. People have done it with bathouses, too.
