Yeah it’s most likely agriculture. Gotta pollinate those crops. I imagine the scale of industrial farming is too large to just rely on local and wild pollinators.
It's not the scale, per se; it's the monoculture. They can't just keep bees next to the same field year-round because with only one kind of plant flowering, they would starve once its bloom was over. So they end up trucking them between places with different crops instead.
Ah I see. That makes sense.
