I avoid it.
simple fact is that the bees are enslaved
Bees may travel as far as 55,000 miles and visit more than two million flowers to gather enough nectar to make just a pound of honey
Then the bee keepers steal there honey they collected( they need to survive the winter) and they give them back sugar water.. about 25 pounds of it..
(So if by chance a vegan doesn't eat bone char processed cane sugar, but does eat honey, they're not doing a lot of good in terms of reducing the demand for sugar.)
They kill the queen bee every two years and replace her with a new one.
They artificially inseminate her with a male bee my extracting a semen using a cruel method, or squashing his head (killing him)
I think its sad :(
Others eat it, cuz they don't think an insects life is important
I'm a vegan and I don't consume honey. I'm sure some do though.
My vegan friend does consume honey. She use to be a bee farmer! I don't see how honey is anything except a natural product of nature!
No, vegans don't eat honey because they come from bees (bee are considered animals too).
Honey is not a vegan food, thus to truly be a vegan, one cannot consume honey.
That doesn't stop being from misrepresenting themselves. People who eat fish call themselves vegetarians (which makes no sense because vegetarians don't eat animals and fish are animals!) even though vegetarian's don't eat fish.
If you want to be vegan, and like honey, I recommend Agave instead. If you want to be a vegetarian who doesn't consume eggs or dairy but does consume honey, then do that. Do whatever works best for you, but labeling that veganism would be wrong.
By definintion vegans are supposed to stay away from anything from an animal including honey. That said some individuals may not adhere to this but on the whole vegans dont consume it.
They don't. Even though eating most fruit is just as bad. They use domestic bee hives that are moved around on trucks to polinate most fruit crops.
