There are other alternate sweeteners that do not need to be stolen from bees. The bees make honey for themselves, not for us! Humans do not need animal products whatsoever. As far as the environmental concern, we can also buy local maple syrup, molasses, and agave nectar. Without hindering the bees freedom, there are also green sweeteners such as stevia and brown rice syrup.

Thanks! And let's let the bees keep their honey!!
