Question

What evidence from the text best supports the analysis that human-raised honeybees may be responsible for harming wild bumblebee populations?
(1 point)
*A handful of bumblebee species have declined by up to 96 percent in the U.S., according to the National Agricultural Library's website."
"Flowers have been suspected as reservoirs for bee viruses, but no researcher had linked virus deposits on flowers to bumblebee infections in the wild until this study.*
*Filling in one piece of the puzzle, the study revealed wild bumblebees pick up more viruses the closer they forage. to managed honeybee colonies."
"Human efforts to breed more of these insects in artificial beehives and plant more flowers may seem the obvious Wey to stave off heavy lasses."

Answer 1

The evidence from the text that best supports the analysis that human-raised honeybees may be responsible for harming wild bumblebee populations is:

"Filling in one piece of the puzzle, the study revealed wild bumblebees pick up more viruses the closer they forage to managed honeybee colonies."

This statement indicates a direct connection between the presence of managed honeybee colonies and the increased virus exposure in wild bumblebees, suggesting that human interventions with honeybee populations can have negative effects on wild bumblebee health.
