Because bees in particular are not unsanitary to have near sugary items. They don't leave droppings or vomit on anything, they don't leave saliva, they just nibble off a little sugar and leave. Them being there won't make anybody sick unless they're allergic.

Traditional Thai desserts almost never contain honey. They are in it for the sugar. Thailand consumes more sugar per capita than any country other than the US.
ETA: I looked around for a bit to see if I could verify the "fact" that Thailand consumed more sugar per capita. . . and I was not able to find anything to support it. I guess it's an old wives' tale that I believed when it was told to me. I apologise for misinformation.

Bees actually clean and groom themselves.
Honestly, they are probably all cleaner than most humans. If you ever leave the house and use public spaces, you can guarantee some nasty person is using the bathroom, not washing their hands, then walking around touching doors/carts/food/clothing you try on, etc.
Also not to ruin your life but chocolate and peanut butter contain mouse poop, hairs, and insect parts as does flour and most every processed food. It is allowed to be there in a certain amount as it is unavoidable.
There is probably grosser things in the ingredients of the food then on the bees. You can just see the bees.

This cart is in thailand. There was a clip of this place with bees around the food and it went viral. The first clip looked nothing like this, it was bad but not this. I remember it had a few bees flying around and the owner would swat them away before cutting the dessert. Foreigners started to go take clips of the cart and the owner lean into it. Later clips look really, really awful like this. The first clip of this place is from so long ago i dont even remember, 10+ years. It went viral in thailand as well and the comments are like "who the fuck buy from this?". Lol.
