The sad things of those practices is that the hive is stressed by being moved around a lot, and that hives are often used to impollinate but after pesticides have been used thius killing the hive.
It happens very often, sadly.
- giantg2 5y agoThis is true for the industrial size farms and industrial sized beekeeping operations. Smaller local farms and beekeepers can work together without these problems and without having to move hives, or at least not very often.

- znpy 5y agoI wouldn’t talk about “consent” in this context.
