A quick web search tells me that bees don’t die when harvesting honey, unless you take more than they need to survive, too often and are careless when harvesting?
Well I tried to avoid sites which could be biased like beekeapersagainstvegans and honeyismurder, and this is the conclusion I could make. 🤷
What more do you want me to do, start my own honey farm and see what works and not?
I’m don’t know much about beekeeping, but I could easily see large scale industry doing exactly that. I would have a hard time trusting them to be careful of the bees’ livelihood. It seems like if the farmers are actually careful the bees should be ok though

“google ai overview told me exactly what I wanted to hear so I’ve decided to look no further”
“i’ve invented a reason to dismiss what you posted and decided that’s a good enough reason not to think about it any further”
Also a good restatement of the comment I’m replying to, yes.
I’m open to counter arguments

Me neither lol. But if there’s ethical consumption there’s no need to abstain from all right?
Yeah all of those things sound pretty likely in most honey farming settings.
