Beekeepers Sick Of Vegan Diet Hypocrisy Shut Them Down With Facts

From bee to hive to jar, there’s a lot of buzz around honey in vegan diets. According to the definition, “a vegan is someone who consumes no food that comes from animals and abstains from using animal products.” That means none of that sweet, sweet honey bees work so hard to regurgitate to their colony. Recently, however, local beekeepers have started sharing their thoughts online in an attempt to convince vegans to include honey in their diet. Sure, one can say they have their own interests, but it’s hard to argue with the arguments they’re listing. Continue scrolling to check ’em out and tell us what you think in the comments.

Whether or not this were directed to vegans (which it is), it's a very informative article where you can learn more about nature, how honey is being made and about the related profession all at once. This is good.

A slightly off-topic honey funny: My local coffee shop uses local honey as one of the available sweetener options, but it is on the counter in a squeeze bottle labeled "BEE VOMIT".

honey is NOT bee vomit. Bees have two "stomachs", the first for storing honey, and second for digesting food, for which they take small amounts from the first. Vomit would be throwing up from the second stomach.

My husband is vegan, but he considers honey to be a vegan food. He enjoys it and we use it as a substitute sweetener for coffee and tea since refined white sugar is filtered through cow bone char. Honey can also boost your immune system. My uncles neighbor kept bees so I know how the honey is harvested. And todays artificial hives are actually designed in such a way to make sure bees don't get squished. https://money.cnn.com/2015/03/11/smallbusiness/bees-flow-hive-fundraising/

You can buy vegan sugar. However. Sugar filtered through charcoal (FIFY) made from cow bones is actually greener than burning massive amounts of wood to make charcoal that can only be used once. You might want to look at the environmental costs of some of the so-called "healthy" things you demand when you're a vegan.
