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.

Why the fuck are vegans not eating honey? It's nectar?
Please don't tell me it's to do with exploitation of insects.
Honeybees destroy ecosystems because they're more efficient at pollination than wild bees are, so there's an ecological nuance to abstaining from honey. Apart from that, there's the ethical component of taking away food that the bees produce for themselves that's not ours for the taking.

Stevia can die in a fire. Some people can limit their sugar intake to healthy levels. Make something either diet or not. I dislike the taste of all artificial sweeteners, and its in regular too now with most drinks. With artificial sweeteners (but maybe not stevia) wrecking your gut biome and other problems, they've just added something unhealthy to drinks. A drink that would normally be OK to drink once in a while.
I'm not an expert on artificial sweeteners, but as far as I know, they're to be consumed in moderate amounts just like sugars are. And from what I've heard, stevia is among the better sweeteners compared to something like aspartame or maybe even sucralose. The mixing of sugar and a sweetener is not ideal, I think that's true.
I'll gladly be proven otherwise - don't know enough about them tbh

Today i learned that in the us arizona tea is extremely good and cheap, while here in europe you can only get it imported so its pretty expensive...
Arizona Ice Tea isn't good tea though?
-
Why are they using anything imported anyways?
Ah yes, let me just buy local from all of the American tea farms, American bauxite mines, and American aluminum refineries. Oh wait, America doesn’t actually produce meaningful amounts of any of those resources. Pretty much the only thing Arizona would reasonably be able to buy domestically is the sugar.
And most US sugar is foreign sourced.

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.

These fucking vegans care for insects now? That makes me so mad.

Also mediocre tasting sugar water
It's so gross. People are always praising them for being so cheap, when it's quite literally just sugar water that tastes like is was bottled 10 years ago

God forbid someone have empathy for living creatures.

Why are you so aggressive in asking something? Do you expect people to help you like that?
Sorry you had to read a swear word, do you need a a lie down and a snack?

Tea absolutely can grow in the US, we just don't grow much of it.

Picked a couple up for $0.78 yesterday at the local Mexican supermarket.
You know, the people our nation is actively persecuting.

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

I actually am tired and hungry, so yes, I will. And I am not offended by swear words. It was the phrasing, and it seems I am not the only one.
I hope you find calmness in life.

Part of the problem, part of the solution.

It has to do with the exploitation of insects.
What about the exploitation of animals ecosystems for farming? Those murderous vegetables!

Don't worry, they'll be just as hypocritical as any other virtue-signaling group. Bees make honey, honey bad. But they'll act like pollenators aren't needed for crops or something. Or ignore that beekeepers will take their hives out to farms to pollinate various crops, like avocado. Or that bees seem to, on some level, understand that they have a great deal going. They're not trapped in the hives; they could leave at anytime but don't. And their honey production is higher than that of wild bees. And they have a higher survival rate because the beekeeper ensures they're safe from predators, or from the elements, and from disease. Every beekeeper I've ever seen absolutely love their bees.
But the fun part, is not all vegans think like this. Because it's a "contentious" topic among them. For one, why does anyone care what anyone eats? Like, as long as it's not cannibalism, I don't give a shit. But vegans, from what I gather, will "rank" themselves to other vegans to see who's more vegan than the other. It really reminds me of the "church ladies". The type who judge you for not being churchy enough, who brag about how much church they go to, how much they "do for the church", a "higher than thou" mentality. Some vegans are closer to vegetarians, with just additional restrictions. So just like any group, it's not all... it's just a really loud minority that tries to speak for everyone.

I have, and on a related note, I also think of guillotines.
Coincidence ? I think not
