Hi guys, I am currently transitioning to veganism. I have been eating a plant based/vegan diet for 3 months now and so far so Good, I hope! I have am slowly getting to grips with most of it (I have found the diet easy but struggle with other products at the moment).
However, I originally took a pro honey approach for the first week, as we have such a shortage of bees. Due to their decline and importance, I felt as though supporting bee farms was a good idea. I have watched videos about how the queen bees are treated, which make me uncomfortable. Is relying on wild flowers enough? Or are the measures that bee keepers take realistically our best chance right now? I feel as though either way has down sides. Any thoughts would be much appreciated please. In a battle of ethics with myself here! Thank you in advance!
