They help different things. Bees will help the local flowers and plants, solar panels will cut carbon emissions. But boosting plants doesn't cut carbon emissions since the carbon isn't sequestered, it'll go back to the atmosphere once the plant dies.

So if you like the look of flowers or want honey, go with bees. If you want to lower carbon emissions, go solar.
