The fact that some vegans think honey is exploitative really says a lot about their lack of knowledge.

They DO know that if bees don't like a place, they'll just .... leave, right?

You could say the same about humans working exploitative jobs. You can be unhappy and still stay because the cost of quitting is too high. It's only when it gets really bad that it becomes worthwhile.

Edit: I just learned from another comment that they sometimes clip the queen's wings so they can't leave.
