Greed is a religious concept. Bees and an individual lettuce plant live
about the same length of time. If I remove the leaves of a lettuce plant,
I weaken the plant, and shorten it's lifetime, make is less able to defend
itself against disease, etc.. Is this sinful? Is it immoral? Funny how
often the same people advocate burning hives with Foul Brood who believe
it's unethical to feed bees sugar.
I personally don't feed my bees sugar, but I think I will start because
there's no rain here except in the winter, and it's only early in the year
that I get honey, so this coming season I plan to build up my hives very
strong before the eucalyptus in late January. I do not think my Pastor
will mind much.
