Cruelity to Bees
I invite comments. But read the charges first.
This was something I did not expect to find.
But here it is. Is the “end of history” inevitable?
How different is the life of a beekeeper’s bee
from the life of a wild bee (there are still millions of wild bees) they just don’t have much to do with the food products you can buy in the mainstream of food outlets (such as Publix). The tame bees are doing the pollination of most of the corporate farming crops – which in turn are used to make the branded food products - I think – if you know the score please comment – as is the case with so many things that effect all 7 billion of us – the life of the planet - this issue is in the hands of a few beekeepers, okay thousands - the little I have been able to find suggests that the problem of colony disappearance has not solved only delayed…
I am not saying time to PANIC but I am saying time to THINK. And reading the Vegan argument many may ask “what is so terrible about the life of a corporate bee compared say to the life of a corporate human”. But what if the bees keep dying? I guess it comes down to whose problem is it?
A friend of mine I greatly respect says it is all a matter of asking the right question. That the question frames the ans. I suppose it does. A commerical solution might be the replacement of bees with a robust insect that does not make honey but does pollinate the crops. If you goggle you’ll discover people who keep bees as pets. But enough of my musing?
