They get compensated with sugar sludge anyway.

That's one argument i heard against honey, because they get a replacement that might not be as good for them as their own honey. But i think in actual responsible bee keeping you only *add* sugar sludge just in case they don't have enough honey left, but you don't clean out the whole hive in the first place.

I don't know how it is in industrial bee keeping, they probably take every single ounce they can scrape together.

Anyway, yay for bees, yay for more varieties of bees too, and nay for agave syrup
