I ask this in good faith, and I do not mean to bring about struggle sessions with this question (keep it civil, please :). I'm writing a sort of mini-essay on a certain topic (Edit: not anymore, I lost my writing appetite), and veganism fits into that topic (I'm keeping it vague because I'll probably post it here and I don't want to spoil the whole thing). If people are on the fence and others want to know more about what Veganism is and why they should consume in that way, I would be grateful if others more experienced and well-read on the subject could provide resources or counter-reasons. I feel like a lot of the things I believed before going vegan turned out to be misconceptions, and it doesn't hurt to be more educated on a subject, right?

Edit: I need to take a break from the internet again, if my brain wasn't fried already it is now (not anything any of you started, I brought this upon myself)

    If bees don't like their living conditions they'll literally leave. People largely need to construct housing that makes them comfy. Poor Prole's Almanac does discuss the apiary industry and many entomologists and agriculturalists are arguing against the raising of honeybees, but it usually boils down to local pollinator competition and the industry of large trucks moving around hives and basically functioning as vorroa mite factories. The hobbyist beekeeper or subsistence farmer is not the one carrying out these sins, though.
