i understand why vegans would not want to support the large scale industrial beekeeping methods, but what is the problem with a small backyard hive used for honey and pollination? Ive seen people on here say they don’t eat honey because they want the honey bee population to stop falling. But this makes no sense, beekeepers help increase the honey bee population. And i don’t understand why vegans have a problem with removing the honey. If you take away their honey you have to supply them with sugar water which some people believe is even healthier for the bees. its not like the bees are confined and crammed into spaces, like livestock. they can all leave the hive to get a new one if they are stressed or hungry. without beekeepers who is going to pollinate all of the vegan’s fruits and vegetables? Most of the crops rely mainly on honey bees to pollinate them. I interested in hearing from vegans why they do not agree with keeping bees on a small scale?

If a bee consumes a soda with sweet n low, will the honey be sugar free??
I was walking to my car and seen one of my husbands diet cokes on the ground with about 100 bees on the can.
