Well, it's not exactly their honey, because they have no notion of property or propriety. They'll just as soon die trying to kill to take your sugary snack.

If they don't have the capacity for considering themselves wronged, and won't get it, can you really wrong them? Are there really even two parties here?

Now it may still be wrong for other reasons to keep bees, like destroying nature by wiping out native pollinators etc.

I dont think keeping bees is morally wrong. I eat meat too and some animal had to die for that.

But I do think that comment up thread trying to frame it as some service to them or "sweet deal" is ridiculous. It reminds me when management/politicians make chances strictly for own benefit and puts out manipulative memo trying to make the situation sound as anything but that.

It is ok to use bees for honey. We dont do it for bees and they are not getting all that much value from that.
