Is there an ethical way to keep bees for honey?

I think one of the biggest mistake of human thinking is that everything in the nature is for the human necessities. It is important to leave everything so the nature want it so to be. Bees need their honey to survive diffucult situations. Furthermore most commercial business people built some artificial home for the bees, so that the bees dont need to build their own comb and produce more honey. The Problem is that this artificial comb cause desease towards the bee. Its like an enemy for the bees.
Bees are important for the trees and plants and we must recognize that not everything in nature should be eaten by us.
true =). I'm glad I've learned a lot more about honey bees now! You should come join our discord server (click on the banner)
Leave all animals and their property off limits. It's that simple. Their lives are theirs, not ours. Their property is theirs, not ours. The 'fruits' of their labor is theirs, not ours.
Well said! Too bad a majority of people don´t get it.
I agree @krnel. I had honestly never thought about honey as an issue before, but I'm glad I learned more about it now. But like my grandfather used to say: only idiots never change their mind =) Thanks for stopping by!
I heard honey was bee sick so I use that to put honey eaters off. The health benefit of it don't really matter when u live and eat healthy, u don't need honey to get them
Honey is off limits. Since they produce the honey as their food it would be like we spent hours cooking a beautiful meal for our family and then someone comes, takes it away an replace it with an IV drip.
Not so much fun.
exactly! I like your comparison =)
Lucky I found your post! This is one topic I've been wrestling with too, as I became vegetarian last week.
I think it's pretty simple too. The bees buzz their butts off to go get pollen and convert it to honey. Through their labor they've added value (hehe) and therefore under natural law that belongs to them.
And they have every right to use force to prevent theft of their property :-)
