Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
Also, it doesn’t hurt the bees, they literally make more of the stuff than they can use, and it helps support the beekeepers who are dedicated to keeping bees alive. No one’s keeping those bees captive either. I mean to make honey they gotta fly out and find flowers and stuff. They could easily make a new hive somewhere else. They stay because it’s a good home for them.
