Is honey vegan?!
Longer answer: Honey is made from the nectar of flowers. The nectar is gathered by bees and carried back to the hive in the "honey stomach," an organ which applies enzymes to the nectar to begin changing the sugars in it. It is then deposited in the cells of the honeycomb (which is made of wax extruded from the glands of bees at a certain age) and allowed to dry. When a cell full of honey is ready, it's capped over.
In the harvesting process, beekeepers will remove the comb from the hive and extract the honey. Depending on how thoroughly the honey is filtered, it can contain some bits of wax and/or bee parts -- it's pretty much impossible to harvest honey without damaging a few bees in the process.
But basically, it's been modified by the bees, taken from them, and may contain insect parts.
(On the other hand, vegetables -- especially organically grown ones -- can also contain some insect parts, and they may well have been fertilized with animal manure and pollinated by domesticated bees. Where do you draw the line? I do not know.)
Answers: Short answer: No, as you've already been told.

no, since honey is an animal product
no its an animal(bee) product
Nope. An "animal" product.
no it isnt. Vegans don't eat any animal products, and since bees make honey it's an animal product. It's kind of like stealing their food....and i think its made from their spit too.
No, its an animal bi-product. Although it doesn't have any "meat" in it.
Nope. Honey is made by and exploits bees, and therefor is not vegan.
I'm a level 5 vegan. I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.
It is not.

no it comes out of a bee if you are vegan dont eat it
Honey is not vegan because it comes from living animals- bees. Bees may be harmed in the making of honey so vegans choose not to eat it.
no. it's made by bees, therefore, an animal product.
no , its a animal product (bees)
No, because all those poor little bees made all that honey for the bears to eat.
Definitely not.
