honey

I am curious. Why do vegans refuse to eat honey?

Its made by animals. Vegans dont anything that comes from or is made by an animal.

Technically speaking, wouldn't fruits and vegetables pollinated by bees be considered in this category? Bees do the yeoman's work in pollination, not to say there aren't other insects that do some. Without them, no produce. The same could be said using cow manure as fertilizer, a product from an animal product. Just saying...........

I was thinking that. But crops like almonds are just as much a product of the bees as honey is. Without bees there are no almonds. And vegans eat almonds. At least I think they do. The bees, with very few exceptions, that pollinate the almonds and other crops, are not wild bees. They are bred and managed like other livestock.
