Huge numbers of bees suffer in a variety of ways from their exploitation by humans to make honey and other products. 🐝 Many people may think that bees don’t suffer. However, all the evidence available indicates that they, as many other invertebrates who have a centralized nervous systems, do have the capacity to feel suffering and pleasure. 🐝 Despite this, as happens with other animals, they are used for human profits in ways that many people aren’t aware of. Their exploitation causes suffering and death to a large number of bees. This happens especially with honey, which bees produce by swallowing nectar and then regurgitating it repeatedly. To take honey out of the bees hive, these animals are harmed in a number of ways, and killed in great numbers. 🐝
