I just started watching 90 Day Season 10 and watched the episode (I think ep 2) where she complained about the honey bread and how she is going to slowly introduce Gino to veganism. Just wanted to know if she has always been vegan like since entering into the 90 day universe.

    Vegans being anti-honey/beeswax is very confusing to me.
    What is the logic to this?

      as a non-vegan, I can kinda understand the sentiment behind not eating honey or using beeswax. harvesting the two can cause a lot of suffering to bee colonies, especially in a commercial setting.

          Some vegans won’t use any animal products ever, but some will make an exception on certain, non-lethal animal products if they know it comes from a humane source, like small batch beekeepers like Anna and Mursel!

        I don’t think that’s entirely correct - beekeepers need to open the hive anyway to check to make sure that it’s not being affected by parasites and to count the bees for conservation purposes. If bees have too much honey/resources, the hive will split and both new colonies will have a much lower chance of survival, so removing 2/3 of the honey regularly is considered good for the hive.

      I had someone explain to me, not eating or using the byproducts of anything that has a mommy.

      Always charming being down voted for asking for information, to better understand.

      Nothing taken from the produced by an animal or exploitation of an animal is to be eaten or used. It’s extremely difficult. Even large amounts of wines are fined using dairy, egg, or gelatin. You have to be careful with certain sugars and makeup and vitamins. The probiotics I take use a small amount of dairy; I believe as a chemical bond like wine fining but I haven’t looked too much into it.

      Because you’re stealing from the bees…vegans try to minimize the exploitation of any living creature.
