I had thought that veganism was more of a beliefs thing: to not eat products of exploitation, but then I heard the honey thing. The honey thing might be just from an overbearing vegan, or I just don't know the details, but beekeeping just looks so peaceful
OTOL honey thing?
Oh, you haven't heard about "bee enslavers"? 🤣
AFAIK many (?, please correct) vegans don't eat honey, and that's consistent with most of the people I know IRL. It tends to sway between "I try not to eat animal products" and "harvesting honey hurts/exploits bees", the latter of which may be true for industry-scale honey, but I don't see why local honey isn't an option
Local honey isn't an option for largely the same reason that locally sourced human breast milk isn't. Even if harvesting it doesn't hurt the ones producing it, a lot of vegans find it conceptually gross anyway
Edit: a better comparison may be to locally sourced roadkill. You aren't paying into a system that intentionally runs over squirrels and cats to feed you, but it's just conceptually bad. I think most vegans would agree that peeling a dead squirrel off of the road and throwing it on the grill is, at the very least, significantly more defensible than buying meat from the store, but they still wouldn't partake if you offered it to them
