the birds and the... wasps?
    #7747998 - 12/12/07 03:46 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)



what do you think about bees?

i really like them, and i like honey... but i am wondering what are your moral thoughts on stealing from bees and trying to control them, especially when bees have such a positive impact on the environment and are so useful to humans

what do you think about commercial pollinator colonies, millions of bees in a semi trailer or fleet of semi trailers that move from crop to crop thousands of miles? it is those commercial beekeepers that sustain all the bee diseases today that make it so much harder to raise bees

wouldn't it be better if we just modified the way we grow food so that the bees could live with us?

many people don't realize how much of our food is dependent on bees, and how there are not enough wild bees left to do the job because we kill wild bees with pesticides and destroy their natural habitat (we need commercial beekeepers)

so... i was thinking of raising bees but not harvesting their honey (not using an excluder either) but i am not sure if this is morally a good thing to do

bees aren't really that smart... maybe they have no feelings so we are justified to do anything we want to them

it just seems that... bees are so good at what they do if you let them do their thing... do we really need these mechanized disease reservoirs to do a job that could be accomplished naturally and absolutely free of charge?

> bees aren't really that smart...

Contrary, they are very intelligent critters. Not many (if any other) insect species are able to tell their buddies where the food is rather than having to show them.

if they are smart, they have a very different kind of intelligence than our own

for example if you move an established hive just a few meters it completely fucks them up... they will swarm around a branch near to their old hive even if they can see it a few feet away

so yeah they are able to do what they do very well, but they are very limited in what they can do beyond that

they are able to navigate so well party due to those 3 eyes on the top of their head in my picture :smile:
