While I prefer this kind of beekeepers over others , I ' m still not comfortable with this . Harvesting the way we do isn ' t possible without meddling with the queen bee . Wether you clip her wings , or put her in a seperate room in the box she can ' t get out of . It goes agains the queen bee ' s ability to flee with her hive away from harm . We can ' t know for sure how bees experience this , but I think they rather be out of harm ' s way , or not near honey stealing hands , and they can ' t because their queen is trapped or disabled . I find it quite sad <| sep |> My friend and I are exactly the same . We started out as genuine fans , but it kept getting worse and worse and now we basically hatewatch and make fun of it the whole time . But we just . can ' t stop . It ' s a slowmotion train wreck that we can ' t take our eyes off of .
