its true!!

Is using honey bad? It would be hard for me to give that up because I love it so much.

16 oz of honey requires 1152 bees to travel 112,000 miles and visit 4.5 million flowers.

Most of the honey we get at supermarkets and stores don’t come from natural hives. 

Honey is an animal product, produced when bees digest nectar they have collected and then regurgitate it. It is an animal product, just like an egg or milk. Yes, a bee is an insect and not technically considered an animal by many people, but a bee’s body changes the composition of what it ingests, just like other animals.However, there is another reason vegans won’t eat honey, and that is because it is harmful to another living creature. According to Daniel Hammer, bees do experience pain and suffering while they are being exploited for their products (not just honey but also beeswax, royal jelly, and more). There is simply no way beekeepers, humane or otherwise, can avoid harming or killing bees while they are extracting the bees’ products. Many vegans choose their lifestyle because they wish to avoid harming any other creature, and so they choose not to eat honey.

Check out this couple of articles that are pretty complete about everything around this topic :)

Save The Bees

Friendly reminder that eating honey actually helps honeybees

A common misconception is that beekeepers abuse and “overwork” the bees to get a steady supply of honey and other “hive products”, but this is not true.

There is almost no evidence to suggest that human harvesting of honey, beewax, etc. is contributing to the decline of the bee population.

Supporting your local beekeepers actual helps bee populations, because if they can’t turn a profit on their goods they won’t be able to get the supplies necessary to keep their hives healthy.

Also, keep in mind that beekeepers do not starve their bees by taking honey off the comb. They take the excess that will go to waste if not harvested.

Not to be over dramatic or anything but the decline in popularity of hand written letters is one of the disappointing decisions we’ve made as a modern society .
