Are bees tortured to get honey?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Well bees are definitely objectified and seen as industrialized honey producing machines. They're starved of their own resources and are given mostly sugar water in return. Bee keepers are not concerned with their well-being other than for production yields. It is a form of factory farming. Isn't this reason enough?

As a local beekeeper, I take offense to your sentiment.

your offense has been duly noted and taped to the refrigerator for all to see
