  • Oh, they also over produce the amount of honey they need, and beekeepers supplement their food during spring/fall when flowers aren’t in bloom. If they were going hungry or felt food insecure they would leave and search for greener pastures.

    I will say there is a spectrum of beekeepers with some being more ethical than others, I’ve heard stories of beekeepers a few decades ago that wouldn’t bother wintering their bees and just started fresh with new bees each spring. So if you’re after ethically sourced honey and beeswax I’d deal with a local beekeeper, someone you can get to know and ask about their beekeeping practices.

    So just to sum it up I’d say it’s possible for beekeeping to be done ethically but I’d asses it on a case-by-case basis as some beekeepers are better than others

    Edit: just a disclaimer, I worked for a small to medium sized beekeeper that had stationary yards spread over a large chunk of country, not one of these large corporate setups with the mobile hive trucks. Also I haven’t touched on the whole issue of them competing with native pollinators but that’s because I don’t really know about that side of things


  • I’ve worked as a beekeeper so I feel like I can answer this. The bees are literally free to leave at any time, there’s no way to stop them from packing up and finding a better place to live and they will do so if they feel the need to. If a hive is particularly successful and grows large enough they’ll split and half the bees will leave to find a new place, and if you provide them with a hive most of the time they’ll just stick around. They’re perfectly able to survive and thrive outside of the bee-beekeeper relationship so the only thing keeping them there is their own preference






  • The stage is set: it’s the night of the second debate. Joe shuffles out to the podium, dark Brandon die hards are hoping this night will help him recover from the past week when Biden repeatedly referred to the prime minister of Israel as Yitzhak Rabin. Dems are ecstatic Joe manages the short walk with only one minor stumble. Trump struts out proving he’s still capable of walking on his own. The debate opens with Biden barely stringing two coherent sentences together, he somehow blames covid and lack of stimulus checks on mexican immigrants which Trump runs with. Finally, the debate turns to our beautiful veterans. You can see Biden shaking with rage as Trump brags about the troops loving him and accuses Biden of doing nothing for veterans. Biden finally snaps and begins to say the only clear sentence the entire debate:

    “Listen here Jack! Beau served this country and gave his life for it, you never served, you dodged the draft!”

    He pulls a revolver from his suit and fires at point blank range. The recoil shatters every bone in his arm, the gun flies up into his face breaking his nose. He collapses, hitting his head on the podium killing him instantly.

    Trump stands alone on the stage, the bullet having missed him by a country mile. He says something about Biden’s shooting being worse than his golf swing
