Shit's getting real - Blåhaj Lemmy

Lemmy

Used to hate Arizona quite a bit because it felt super bougie and expensive for what’s essentially just a regular ice tea. Developed a taste for it over the years and like it quite a bit nowadays because it’s partly sweetened with stevia which makes it taste very pleasantly. Quite unfortunate that most of the flavours sold here aren’t vegan because they insist on 0,1% of honey in the ingredients

Vegans don’t eat Honey? Huh.

Makes sense when you think about it, tho.

All that honeybee suffering…
In Europe without industrial honey bees we would not have apples, crops amd stuff because they are almost solely responsible for the pollination.
What’s an industrial honeybee? In my head I have bees buzzing around wearing tiny hi-vis vests and helmets.

So basically all honey you buy is made by the European honey bee, which is known for making lots of honey. Beekeepers place them in boxes and collect the honey. And basically once you have more than 20 hives you are commercially viable and that is what I mean with industrial

Asia has a different kind of bee that Beekeepers breed, but almost all of the rest of the world is using the same species.

Fun stuff, but you forgot that we reduced wild pollinator population by around 70%? Mainly due to the monoculture agriculture, and pesticide usage? The thing they are now needed for?
Yeah well the reason for the reduced species diversity is the human. I thought this was obvious.

Wait a sec, you’re saying humans are the problem?

Part of the problem, part of the solution.
