I feel with you for losing things, but please do not bring the whole my rights debate here into Lemmy. If Lemmy hosts/admins start getting into legal trouble the whole network will collapse. It's a nice place to share things without any responsibilities or rights. At least this is my opinion.
That being said, I would also strongly suggest to keep local backups of art you upload. It can always happen that data corruption occurs even on a server that might make thinga get lost, and that would be really sad in the case of art.
(Obviousely not saying this is what happened in your case.)
This isn't entirely true. Sometimes queen bees have their wings cur off to insure they stay in the beehive, and thus make the beehive produce honey. Also, the queens can then often be discarded/killed at the end of the season. So no harm being done in the production of honey is not always the case.
I feel like there should be an option to certify honey as being vegan if no harm is done to the bees in the process though.
