      While not a very helpful comment, its true.

      Honey bees displace native bees and pollinators, and are vectors for disease for other bees.

        The European honeybee is well and truly naturalized across the world. They’ve been in North America for 500 years now, the ecology has fully adapted to them.

      There are unethical ways to do it, but it’s not a simple hardline and it hasn’t nearly the philosophically strong arguments like other forms of animal keeping have for being unethical.

      Can you link me to some good readings on this topic? I’m on a path towards veganism, but still use Honey because I didn’t see any major ethical issues with it as I believed it was beneficial for them.
