This is why “more bees at all cost, everyone should have honeybees“ was a mistake imho. Domesticated bees already rival against wild bees and at worse spread illnesses. This is also why you shouldn’t give a wild/rescued bee any honey! Honey can transmit bee diseases as well

Petra linked this to me privately so I guess this week we're all learning about Deformed Wing Virus.
It's horrible. It's widespread. And this study is 10+ years old so who knows what's the situation nowadays.
Study suggests deformed wing virus is spread by honey bees
