Hundreds of queen bees in cages waiting to be shipped. It is important to realize who is keeping these bees. Note that this follows precisely the same pattern of animal exploitation that vegans seek to end for other species. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men. What follows is a look at specifically how honeybees are exploited by humans. It’s the idea that humans are justified in using all other life forms instrumentally, for our own buy honey bees benefit. The simple fact is that the bees are enslaved. The kept bees would seem to have more contact with humans and more bees would die from stinging them. If common sense isn’t good enough, we can always resort to scientific studies that indicate that bees feel pain.
