Bees are used as slave labor to pollinate a huge number of crops. How do we justify the exploitation of honey bees to produce food? Avocados, almonds, and blueberries are just a few examples of crops dependent on prison bee labor.

    Certainly up for debate and has been debated elsewhere (https://www.veganlifemag.com/vegan-myths-avocados-arent-vegan/). It seems to come down to your definition of veganism and acknowledgement that avoiding 100% animal exploitation is near impossible in modern capitalist society. – skippy619 Feb 18 '20 at 20:50

  • Linked question by Nic and Alexander contains very good answers that would also answer yours. You should go take a look. – Niitaku Mar 18 '20 at 10:43

    bee are not exploited, pollinating plants is something they naturally do. – Neil Meyer May 22 '20 at 13:05
