Honestly, I'm just curious, because I've heard that the calves don't actually need all the milk their mothers (the cows) produce. I don't know if this is true or not. As far as I know, it is true that for producing extra milk, BST and other hormones are injected into cows, causing them pain, and I don't like this practice so I refrain from dairy unless its organic.

Of course I'd be sad if people cut down trees and destroyed bee hives to get at the honey, but if we don't get it, I guess the bears would get it all? Where would all that honey go?
