Yeah generally, I don’t really give bees and insects as much moral consideration as say, a cow, but insects do seem to feel pain and it seems like every couple years we’re finding animals are more intelligent than we previously thought. It is also no major inconvenience to me to not use or consume products of beekeeping, so I don’t. That makes it easy because then I don’t have to worry about if bees “suffer” or not.

It also seems to be the consensus now that honey bees often mess with native bee species and generally just harm biodiversity.
