If the metric for being nature friendly is "doesn't interact with nature" I have bad news for you. If being a bee keeper is a crime against nature I hope you don't drive a car, live in a man made structure or eat processed meat.
You seem to think Humans are some sort of entities living outside of the realm of "Nature", we've been working/using animals/plants for as long as human exists, hell, most other animals do it too.
Bees are "stealing" pollen from flowers to store it as food, we're "stealing" honey from bees to use it as food.
Someone harvesting his own honey from his hives certainly is closer to nature than someone buying honey (produced god knows where and in what conditions) in a supermarket.
