I hope she was properly compensated, at the very least!
If we want to think long and hard about it, honey was one of the most sinful food alongside eggs...you didn't only take their housing, you took their unborn babies and the future food invested for those babies, put it on industrial centrifuge and spin it until the individual cells break, then filtered the beeswax until it's pure. If humans purely bred bees for the sake of preserving them as living creatures and not for honey, we honestly won't have any honeybee extinction crisis, ever.

Where did this idea that honey comes from putting bee larva in a centrifuge come from? This is the second time I've heard someone say this, right down to specifically mentioning a centrifuge, and it's just blatantly not true. Honey and beeswax is made by the bees in the exact same way as it has been since before humans even existed, and they're more than happy to take acceptable losses of the stuff (which they instinctively overproduce anyway) to a "predator" that only cares for the manufactured stuff and doesn't actually want to hurt their larva. If they weren't, they would just... fly away, and build a nest elsewhere. Honeybees are some of the most well-treated of all domesticated animals, because there's no way for a beekeeper to prevent their bees from just leaving if they aren't happy with the conditions they're being kept in.
The thing that primarily threatens bees nowadays is pesticide overuse, which hits the bees as collateral damage when the flowers they visit are covered in poison. but that's something that you'd need to take the plant farmers to task over, rather than treating veganism like it's a totally blameless moral panacea.

bees put honey in combs that no longer have larva. after a bee larva matures, its cell is repurposed for honey storage. if you want to denounce something then do it right, otherwise you just sound like an idiot

You sure you're not confusing one of the processes they can de-maggot casu martzu with honey making?
