I mean there are bees vomiting. Bees do spin around. And there is a centrifuge. This is pretty close to true.
No one can be that ignorant. Of course they are milked
From their boo-bees?
That’s where the term “honey boo” comes from. It is intended to evoke images of honey-crusted bee nipples which peasants used to give what looked like a little kiss to get the delicious honey crystals off (they were NOT allowed to otherwise touch the honey, on pain of death, because it belonged to the nearest bishop, and wars were fought over where bishops chose to go for walks, leading to them to having to follow careful paths that kept them from getting closer to bee milking areas than the bishop that earned that honey fair and square by telling those peasants to milk it out of those bees. These paths often cut diagonally through fields, which explains something else but I can’t remember what, but it is a really fun fact, so please enjoy it even if it isn’t fully complete).
They just clip the wings of the queen so it’s functionally impossible for the bees to leave.
And replace the honey with sugar water and they become deficient. And also they outcompete native bee populations, causing naturally occuring pollinators to decline
People pay to ride a tilt-a whirl. Let the bees have their fun.
It’s funny how people can believe something like that despite there being a thing called “the Internet” where you can easily look up stuff (and where they made that comment). They get some points for caring about bees, though.
Confidentiality?
Confidently corrected
I suspect that was part of the joke
If only that was the reality and not that they decimate the native pollinator population causing massive problems and serious implications for the future
All that, plus honey is just kinda mid. Like, most people just eat it because it seems “healthier” than pure sugar, but nutritionally there’s very little difference (yes, honey is good at killing bacteria and fungi, but that doesn’t really matter when you digest it). Just replacing it with Agave Syrup is barely an inconvenience and solves so many environmental problems.
Someone has never had good honey, I guess.
Calls honey mid and unsustainable, supports agave syrup in the same breath. Moving the environmental problems from your neighborhood to Oaxaca is not solving them.
Wait then how DO they make honey?
Well they do vomit it, just without human assistance. FWIW though, a honeybee produces about a single teaspoon in its whole life, and also tame honeybee colonies tend to psuh out natural honeybee populations, so whether it’s ethical to eat honey or not is a fair question.

Keep in mind though that a honey bee worker only has a working lifespan of a few weeks (though they can survive for months if born during the cold off seasons where they stay huddled in the hive), and each hive has between 40,000 and 80,000 bees. Kept hives also don’t need as much of the honey they produce since the beekeeper can control for climate, colony size, and other factors that increase consumption.
Pushing out native bees is definitely a major problem, I agree on that, though beekeepers should be managing their colonies to prevent them from splitting and creating new hives.
Unless you’re in Eurasia, the natural populations aren’t honeybees.
No that’s Minions right?
