So what is this question about? About the fact that the beekeeper could be sued for the suffering of the bees, that the possibilities of legal actions such as the execution of bee colonies, new types of breeding restrictions would start?

What was the process for demonstrating pain and suffering in vertebrates?

So is it a legal question rather than a mere scientific awareness that many beekeepers would receive new suffering as punishment for something they do in beekeeping?

Who cares about the answer? Who is it. Certainly not a beekeeper.

Now the situation is similar to a tone in a vacuum. There is no INTERPRETATION, but there are interpreters. In society, the connection to the ending type if the bee feels pain is getting stronger. But if beekeepers widen the vacuum that doesn't transmit waves and signals to the legal system, the beekeeper won't feel pain for something that can be pain in the colonies he keeps.

Is this the INTERPRETATION we are talking about?
