Why Honey Isn’t Vegan
Veganism = "...a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose.”
- The Vegan Society

Why Honey Isn’t Vegan
Honeybees are animals from the phylum arthropod.
Arthropods have complex nervous systems and are capable of feeling and responding to pain.
Honeybees have been found to be capable of making decisions and possessing the ability to change those decisions when conditions change. (Gould, J. & Gould, C. 1988 Scientific American Library)

Factory Farming of Bees
Honeybees are enslaved and exploited.

Factory Farming of Bees
Honeybees are enslaved and exploited.
1. Nearly 2.4 million hives are trucked all over the country exposing bees to physiological stress, disease, and pesticides.
2. Queens come from commercial suppliers and shipping can be difficult for them.
3. Hives are often split according to what the keeper chooses and not what the queen chooses.

Factory Farming of Bees
As in all factory farming, profits are put before animal concerns.
![Page 9: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Factory Farming of Bees
As in all factory farming, profits are put before animal concerns.
1. Hives are killed off, using cyanide gas, before winter because it’s cheaper than housing, feeding and providing disease prevention.
2. Hives that aren’t killed off are left to starve to death.
![Page 10: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Factory Farming of Bees
Inherent cruelty when animals are viewed as commodities.
![Page 11: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Factory Farming of Bees
Inherent cruelty when animals are viewed as commodities.
1. Queens wings are clipped to prevent swarming.
2. In nature a queen bee can live more than 5 years. On a factory farm queens are killed in less than 2 years to keep honey production at a maximum.
3. Hives are smoked to prevent aggression and increase honey production.

Other Concerns With Mass Production of
HoneyColony Collapse Disorder

Other Concerns With Mass Production of
HoneyColony Collapse Disorder
“disorder affecting honeybee colonies that is characterized by sudden colony death, with a lack of healthy adult bees inside the hive.”
Britannica.com
![Page 14: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Other Concerns with Mass Production of
HoneyColony Collapse Disorder
1. Began to see large numbers of honeybee populations decreasing in 2006 world-wide.
2. Some estimates report that between 50% and 70% of colonies have died.
3. This is a problem because a number of our crops are dependent on pollination by bees.

Other Concerns With Mass Production of
Honey
“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man
would only have four years left to live.”
Albert Einstein
![Page 16: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Concerns with Mass Production of
HoneyWhile Einstein’s quote may have been an
exaggeration, the loss of pollinators will certainly lead to rising cost of fruits and vegetables that provide our antioxidants and vitamins.
![Page 17: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other Concerns with Mass Production of
HoneyColony Collapse Disorder: Causes
1. Overuse of pesticides.
2. Selective Breeding for Industrial use.
3. “Pesticides are one factor, working in conjunction with introduced parasites, viruses, bacteria, and fungi and quite possibly with deteriorating living conditions for bees (poor quality food, too many hours on trucks, etc.). Bees can handle one of these stressors, but not all of them.”
![Page 18: Living Vegan: Extending Compassion to All By: Carrie Klaus.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c715503460f94922e15/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Other Concerns With Mass Production of
Honey
Despite the dire situation with the loss of colonies, commercial beekeepers
still continue to kill off their hives before winter.

There is HOPE
•In the late 1990’s the UK banned animal testing for
cosmetics.•A near total ban was planned for Europe in
2009 (facing opposition from L’Oreal).
•In 2000 CA passed a law limiting animal use in
product testing , making it illegal to use animals
when non-animal alternatives are available.•In 2007 and 2008 NY and
NJ passed similar law.

Fur Farms
More than half the fur in America comes from China
85% of industry skins come from fur farms.
Industry focused on maximizing profits, not animal well being.
Fed meat by-products not fit for human consumption.
Not protected by humane slaughter laws; often a gruesome process to keep pelts intact.

Compassion for All
“The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all a part of one
another, and all involved in one another”
Thomas Merton
