You appear to be unable or unwilling to distinguish between "preventing births" and "voluntarily choosing not to have children."

Not sure why you're quite so interested in escalating the rhetoric here (forced sterilization? in a thread that started with individual action to save honeybees? really?) but in view of the first rule of Beehaw ("Be(e) nice") I'm not interested in joining you.

I would be happy to further discuss the distinction and show you my willingness. But since you are not willing to engage in discussion.

I am not "escalating the rhetoric". And I didn't suggest either that the way to not have honeybees is to "not have kids". If you want to talk about absurd statements, talk to that guy.
