Bees are literally the worst example of humans exploiting an animal. The bees choose to live in the beekeepers boxes. They can and do leave if they decide they are not treated well by the keepers.
They overproduce honey when in a keepers box. They do not use it all and any competent keeper does not take all the produced honey at once.
Similar to how we harvest cinnamon, we take enough to use but not enough to cause detriment to the source.
Bees are not like chickens or other livestock where they're forced into small areas and kept only as long as useful then slaughtered. The biggest thing that threatens bees is not the keepers but anyone nearby who uses pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides.... Which isn't usually the keepers.
