I'm not sure I follow. What is the research you would recommend folks look at? I'm not clear on the conclusion you are coming to... is producing honey via bee farms bad for local environments??
The argument is that non-native honey bees (if you live in the US) put pressure on the native pollinators competing for the same food sources. It makes sense logically, since commercial producers will have huge bee yards and do migratory beekeeping to follow the pollination contracts and the honey flows. I have not, however, ever seen a study on it. I've also never really gone looking.
