>It's the equivalent of feeding your kids junk food.  Giant commercial beekeeping setups are the equivalent of cattle feed lots.  


Highly biased and opinion.   Is it junk food when the basis is as always sugar and proteins?   While its fine to keep bees anyway you like,  its really not appropriate to make declarative statements about things you don’t know about and understand.

Ponder that while you feed your dog food from a  bag,  your cat food from a can,  and you buy your beef at walmart, and live until your 90. 

 Is good care and extra feeding of bees to make them superstars instead of hobby toys in the back yard really bad?

Ask yourself that question in a nation that still imports over half its honey.

Too each their own,  without disparaging the other would be a better choice.
