I’m don’t know much about beekeeping, but I could easily see large scale industry doing exactly that. I would have a hard time trusting them to be careful of the bees’ livelihood.
Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong
guy@piefed.social 3 weeks agoA quick web search tells me that bees don’t die when harvesting honey, unless you take more than they need to survive, too often and are careless when harvesting?

Me neither lol. But if there’s ethical consumption there’s no need to abstain from all right?

Yeah all of those things sound pretty likely in most honey farming settings.

Also a good restatement of the comment I’m replying to, yes.

Well I tried to avoid sites which could be biased like beekeapersagainstvegans and honeyismurder, and this is the conclusion I could make. 🤷 What more do you want me to do, start my own honey farm and see what works and not?
