    I mean anything commercial comes out to be pretty inhumane. They cut off the queens bees wings in commercial honey harvesting.

    I guess bees aren’t as animal as chickens are?

      They are, which is why honey isn’t vegan, and you brought a very good argument for that yourself, namely that the industrial process behind it all tends to be quite brutal.

        I keep my own bees for honey and I have chickens for my eggs. I’m trying to cut off the industry from my life. Not that I’m vegan, the industry tends to remove a lot more from the end result than just the humanity.
