love how some people's plan for surviving ecological collapse is just to craft products (that they assume are) without the endangered ecology. like, good job the assignment was to save the damn bees but yeah I'm sure all the plants will be able to survive if we smear them with synthetic honey.
Without looking it up I can confidently tell you that bee free honey isn't about "avoiding ecological collapse affecting a product," it's about vegans giving waaaay too much of a shit about bees to the point that honey is "not vegan"
i like to give people the benefit of the doubt. sure there's a specific kind of environmentally concerned person who will create ineffectual solutions to non-problems because they either don't actually know about the animal or they are just gritting but I try to hear it from the horse's mouth before I assume it's entirely unhelpful
all I have to go on are the local beekeepers I've met and they're a far different operation from what I imagine wholesale honey industry looks like. it could be as wide of a gap between the ethics of sustenance livestock vs industrial but I don't know
