Yes, it is shitty. So are most things we do to other creatures on earth to prioritize our own survival and well being.

It was only somewhat recently in human history that we've moved past the point of needing these systems to survive. Now things like veganism have few to little downsides, except that we're entrenched in the way we used to do things.

    Honey bees are rarely native to where they are kept. They are livestock. Clipping the queen both improves honey production and prevents the swarm from resettling elsewhere and displacing local pollinators.
