Why is reducing antibiotic usage important in beekeeping?

Reducing antibiotic usage in beekeeping is important to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in bees and to maintain the overall health of bee colonies. Overuse of antibiotics can also lead to contamination of honey and other bee products, which can have negative effects on human health.
