Can you milk a bee? I didn't think so!

You can milk certain types of bees. Boo bees.

if it needs to be pollinated by bees or wasps, then it's not vegan (insert troll emoji i guess)

Reasons that I, as a vegan, do not use honey:

  1. I cannot guarantee that the bees consented to their product being harvested. Some beekeepers clip the queen's wings, which can prevent the colony from leaving.

  2. I cannot guarantee that bees were not harmed in the process of harvesting (potentially getting crushed by the honeycomb frames, for example) or in the process of controlling the colony (like clipping the queen's wings).
