    Now I’m just curious.

    How do you manage the amount of animals that are hurt during agricultural process then?

    Tons of invertebrates are killed by pesticides, while harvest or during the cleaning process of the vegetables.

    It seems to me that being killed by pesticides or drown with water is worse fate that beeing in a nice artificial honeycomb where they may or may not clip the wings of one queen or make you a little sleepy once in a while with smoke.

    On matter of animals hurted/killed during production process honey seems more vegan that most vegetables.

      This comment section has led me to more deeply consider the effects that all types of food production have on animals. I previously have just been ok with any non-animal product, but I now realize that this is not enough, and I am still causing harm to animals with the products that I do use. I will try to ensure that I buy the lowest-impact food available in the future, but I don’t think it is even be possible to stay alive without causing harm to some animals.

      I think using products produced by animals is generally going to be worse than harming animals to stop them from destroying crops, but I will need to consider this more deeply to make the best choice I can.
