I've noticed the opposite with some beekeepers. There's a mentality that honey bees are primitive insects that can survive without any winter protection, no feeding, no mite treatments. A thin wooden box in a windswept field, that's no place for a human, nor is it a place for a honey bee.
Even worse. The honey bees are seen as a ticket to living a 1st world lifestyle for some folks. How often do I meet a beekeeper who talks as much about money as they do honey bees, in the same sentence, and conversation. This isn't multi-level marketing, this is ecology.
Sigh. If anything, we need more anthropomorphism in the beekeeping industry. More oversight on animal ethics.
