Response—“Bee conservation: Key role of managed bees” and “Bee conservation: Inclusive solutions”

Saunders et al. argue that honey bees play a significant role in crop pollination and that managed species, in general, can deliver ecosystem services. We agree. In our Perspective, referencing the same source as Saunders et al. (1), we unequivocally state the importance of managed pollinators for food production and emphasize the significant role of honey bees for global food security. We also agree that managed animals can deliver ecosystem services, from grazing cattle maintaining meadows to chicken feathers used in cultural costumes.
