Of course, honey is not the only product of bee exploitation. The following are other bee products to watch out for:
all the below not allowed for vegan
Bee venom is obtained when the bee stings someone or something. The bee dies if she stings someone.
Bee pollen is pollen collected by bees. It also contains some nectar and bee saliva. It is popular because humans cannot collect such a wide variety of pollen.
Royal jelly is the nutritious food (for bees) fed only to the queen. It literally makes workers into queens.
Beeswax is secreted by bees to build their hives.
Propolis is plant resin collected by bees and mixed with enzymes. It is used around the hive as glue and as an antiseptic.
Bee brood are bees that are not fully developed. Not even vegetarian.

vegans don't eat ANY animal and animal byproducts and even insects fall into the category of animal so no beeswax is not vegan. Besides its cruel how they get the honey away from the bees and quite gross how its made.

vegan? no. although many people believe honey, beeswax, and royal jelly are acquired painlessly, the truth is that bees are exploited and often left to die during the harsh months. it may be one of the lesser invasive foods collected from animals, but it's still destructive to their natural lifestyles and the quality of their lives.

Nope. Bee products and other insect products are not vegan.
