Well, it definitely burns BEE tokens, but the SWAP.HIVE from which it's often, though not always, swapped, remains intact. As an example, the BEE that I'll be using to cover our portion of the creation of the soon-to-be ALIVE:LBI pool will come entirely through curation, since @aliveandsocial has 20.4k+ staked BEE, so it accumulates rather quickly. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
