When I get bored I just google what comes into my head, so "if its not honey whats in the jar" and this poped up.
"It’s not unusual for larger honey producers to cut off the queen bee’s wings so that she can’t leave the colony or to have her artificially inseminated on a bee-sized version of the factory farm “rape rack.” When the keeper wants to move a queen to a new colony, she is carried with “bodyguard” bees, all of whom—if they survive transport—will be killed by bees in the new colony."http://www.peta.org/about-peta/faq/whats-wrong-with-eating-honey/ Mad stuff I used to think the tree huggers were bad but some of this stuf is off the wall. Note to oneself stop googling.
