Bees are animals, and honey contains some chemicals from the bees in it as well as the flower
nectar. Honey isn't vegetarian, much less vegan.

Take a look at: airborne.co.nzEnzymes.htmlOpen ↗ Most of the beneficial enzymes are destroyed
by commercial honey processing. Raw honey is considered healthful by many, but is obviously an
animal processed product. I take care of the bees and they share. Pete

Bees are insects. Insects die in the harvest of fruits and vegetables (look in your lettuce and
celery). If vegans worried about harming insects, they would starve.

But then millions of mice and earth worms, die each year in the cultivation and harvest of
vegetables. Thus is the moral burden of vegans.

Yes, I normally use individual apiculteur honey from France but ran out.

And what of milk and eggs? You don't kill the cow/goat or chicken to get these, however the pig must
die to give up the bacon.

Eggs and milk are manufactured not processed a bit of a different issue. I am not trying to be a
purist. If you don't want to eat honey don't eat it. One interesting thing I saw in vegan cook book
was a call out for Vegan Honey. As far as I know it is Illegal to sell anything labeled as honey
that isn't Honey! (US) Pete
