Is honey considered Vegan or non Vegan ?

Update:

I was just curious as to what others thought about this topic. I myself think is a "grey" area.

I happened to be born a strict vegetarian , but I am far from being a vegan.

By the way, I am not asking what or what not I can eat. My wife does a good job at that. With me having a little sugar problem.

    Honey is not made of bees, it's made BY bees. Most vegans have a problem with this so they avoid it, though some vegans don't care. It's up to their individual consciences

    Is Honey Vegan

  • 8 years ago

    It's vegetarian, but not technically vegan, as it is a product made by bees for their own hives. Vegans don't eat animal flesh, or anything created by an animal's effort.

    Honey is non vegan. Raw honey is superawesome and tastes way better than agave nectar in my opinion.

    Depends on your own philosophies. Generally, it's considered non vegan by most.

    this is made of bees, so it's not really vegan.

    But if you a vegan, and want to know if you can eat it or not, It depends on you.

    Vegans cannot have honey, only agave nectar (which is a lot like honey)
