I read a post from a beekeeper arguing against this. I don't know where to find it, and I might butcher it, but the summary is the beekeeper claimed harvesting honey from bees was objectively the most ethical form of animal farming currently possible.

Apparently, according to them, the bees are capable of leaving at any time. The queen can pack up, fuck off, and the colony will follow. They actively choose to stay where they do because the beekeepers set up ideal, protected spaces for them. So even though they get a significant portion of their hard work basically jacked every so often, they prefer it to the more chaotic hives they would form outside of these areas. Thus making it their choice to basically pay rent in honey.
