I do not believe that not eating honey is going to save the bees. Humans have been eating honey ever since mother nature made the terrible mistake of creating the human species in the world of mammals on this earth.
As far as I know, it is only in the last century, that bees have began to suffer and many other health problems have been on the increase on an alarming rate. It is also in the last century, that pesticides and air polution have impacted all life more than ever before.
What has to be done to save the bees and most mammals, is to outlaw all damaging pesticides and air polution, ( Impossible to do in our times.)
So, we carry on doing billions of dollars worth of research trying to cure the symptoms, cancer for one and many others, rather than eliminating the cause.
