    I see 2 possible solutions on this point. 1, most people primarily spray insecticide to control mosquitos which harms bees as a side effect. If we got rid of mosquitoes altogether, spraying would drop significantly and the bees might return

    2, there’s something like 3-6 thousand different mosquito sub species and only a handful suck blood and even fewer of that target humans. We could do away with those few species and replace them with some other sub-species that are either close enough naturally or through further genetic alterations.
