Many beekeepers want to lessen the chance of "swarming," where the bees decide to move their hive somewhere else, by clipping the queen bee's wings. So instead of protection money, it's more like the bees got their kneecaps busted in after a visit from Big Tony.

Well historically...kinda. Honiused to be Spring harvested because what was left the colony didn't need to survive winter. Now we take more and feed them sugar or corn syrup Which is awful.
