LOL, thanks guys. Maybe I should have done it as a post, but that's cool. It's amazing how many articles and posts and videos about this topic there have been, but none have captured the process in action. Lots of stuff debunks the original claims, others back it up, and still others make new claims of their own, involving bees, honey, and cannabis.
I do think it's cool that bees will eat wax from trichomes and use it to make their propolis (glue for cracks) sometimes. Bees are definitely fascinating and I can see why some people want to believe the stories of bees collecting cannabinoids for human trainers.
Here's another angle to the whole honey thing. Most vegans don't use honey because it's an animal product. MediKatie and I are vegan, but we don't avoid honey. In fact, there's some in my cupboard right now. As long as it's real honey (not made by bees fed GMO corn syrup!), I don't have an issue. No bees are harmed in the making of honey, as long as it is harvested sustainably (so the hive retains enough for their health and growth). Besides, bees are insects, and insects aren't capable of feelings or suffering. Honey's a little weird, if you think about it (literally partly-digested bee vomit that has been dehydrated and cured). But it's not necessarily off the menu. Also, bees literally keep crops pollinated... crops we depend on for food, clothing, and energy. Wind can't pollinate everything! We need those bees, in huge numbers. The honey industry and the food industry go hand in hand. The more honeybees, the more food for humans. Eating some of that honey isn't wrong.
That said, we're good Canadians, and also do enjoy a bit of maple syrup now and then. Honey from a tree! Yum.
