Fun stuff, but you forgot that we reduced wild pollinator population by around 70%? Mainly due to the monoculture agriculture, and pesticide usage? The thing they are now needed for?
It’s a lack of human imagination to think that animals without eyebrows can’t suffer.
There are parts of (industrial) beekeeping that aren’t ethical. It’s up to people themselves to decide if they are comfortable with that.
For example outcompeting other native pollinators, culling entire hives by drowning or gassing is a thing, clipping the wings of the queen to prevent swarming, increased risk of disease due to lower nutritional value of sugar water
Vegans don’t eat Honey? Huh.
Makes sense when you think about it, tho.
All that honeybee suffering…
In Europe without industrial honey bees we would not have apples, crops amd stuff because they are almost solely responsible for the pollination.

Yeah well the reason for the reduced species diversity is the human. I thought this was obvious.
Wait a sec, you’re saying humans are the problem?
Part of the problem, part of the solution.
