  • I won’t speak for other vegans, but my research into beekeeping and honey production turned me against the industry for the following reasons:

    • Beekeepers will commonly clip the wings of queens to keep them from swarming or leaving.
    • Semen is commonly extracted from bees by crushing them.
    • Honey taken from hives is commonly replaced with a nutrient-devoid sugar solution, affecting the health of the bees.
    • Selective breeding of honeybees has made them more susceptible to diseases which can also affect native insects.
    • Honeybees have been shown to cause serious disruptions to plant-pollinator networks, putting local pollinators at great risk.

  • Never had someone point a gun at me like that, but I dated a girl in college that had a dickhead 2nd amendment gun nut dad who never missed an opportunity to mention he had guns and wasn’t afraid to use them if I “didn’t take good care of his daughter.” It didn’t intimidate me in the slightest though, and just let me know he was a scared, insecure loser.
