This robs them of nutrients in the honey, and leaves them succeptible to disease, and weakens the queen, who lays fewer eggs. Also, the process of removing the honey combs squishes some of the bees, no matter how careful you are. Wee need bee keepers to pollinate our farms, but we don't need to take all the honey...

So...we need to have beekeepers...its just wrong to take honey from the bees?

Well-said. And you're also dead-on right that avoiding honey is so easy. I think I'll refer people to this in the future. You concisely and politely do great justice to this idea. Well-said.

Hooray! It's a good thing you're keeping track. And you make a good point. It is dead easy to avoid honey, so why not? Plus to me it always had a funny aftertaste anyway.
