So the problem is not honey/bees, its driving them around in a truck.

I don't know if I would say it's 100% on the trucks (the honeybees didn't ask to be driven everywhere, after all), but the honeybees do disrupt the native ecosystems when they get to their targets; call it a 90-10 or a 95-5 split of culpability perhaps. Smaller scale hive operations that produce honey in one location probably don't have the same outsized impact on so many locations as these truck operations do.
This sounds a bit like blaming cows for eating grass after you placed them on your neighbours lawn.
