There’s something I don’t get with the vegan philosophy. While myself shifting more and more to vegeterian food and totally get why people go the vegan route, i do not understand why honey is banned from their regime.
Today it’s possible to only extract the honey bees have overproduced in special made brood/comb frames and if you respect how they live and DO NOT give them supplement sugar/fructose/succrose or whatever, you do not harm any bees.
In contrary, we can live in harmony where WE can protect them from insects we have introduced (like the asian hornet), giving them a safe home while we try to fix all our other mistakes made all these decades, and they share a bit of their precious nectar.
It’s a win/win stituation where we can benefit both.
Mind to give your opinion on that?
Thank you !
The most important reason for sure is that honey kills bees and its unlikely as a consumer you will ever be assured the bees dont suffer but also bees dont make honey to be taken and cant consent to such a relationship. The idea that humans can treat animals as a resource and still act in their best interest is a comforting rationalisation to objectify animals into machines to produce for us. After all, the first honey farm would have been small scale but fundamentally treating animals like machines will always lead to their being increasingly exploited to maximise output.
