What Is Veganism?

Vegans avoid eating animal products like meat, eggs, fish & dairy products, as well as foods & by products made from them.

1. Bees gather nectar from flowers. 2. Worker bees then place it into beeswax honeycomb. 3. Honey is stored for food to enable the bees to survive through the winter.

Reasons to Avoid Honey...

Beekeepers burns hives If the hive has diseases to avoid an outbreak. Large commercial hives unfortunately crushes or injures some of the bees when harvesting the honey.
