That's also true of animals raised for meat: most of them are raised on farms and would not have lived, at least in those numbers, in the wild. Many species / breeds exist specifically because of farming, and benefit from the shelter, resources, and medical attention that humans give.

(I would be curious to see if there are people who only eat farm-raised animals and refuse to eat wild animals; there is some logical consistency there, but I've seen a lot of people with the opposite preference.)

We don't kill the bees to harvest honey, though, which is a pretty massive distinction.
