If a bee-hive isn't raided by humans (or bears) I presume the honey is for their own consumption. Therefore, if we keep taking honey from hives are we not doing something detrimental to the bees' livelihood? The poor worker bees, having slaved all summer, watch as all their hard work disappears in a puff of smoke and they think, "Fucking hell, I can't have my holiday now! It's back to work for me."There are many species of bees that are are threatened. Shipping honey half way around the world is beyond stupid. Support your local apiarist instead.
