Vegan Living in Port Angeles, Sequim, & the Olympic Peninsula

Our non-vegan customers (that would be most of our customers) tend to understand why vegans choose not to eat meat, eggs and dairy.  The understanding STOPS when the subject comes around to honey.  What?!  Honey is vegan, they say.  It doesn’t come from an animal.  OK, I’m not gonna give a biology lesson or talk about beekeeping…I don’t know much.  What I do know is that, by definition, honey is an animal (insects are animals) product.  Bees consume nectar and regurgitate it for members of their hive.  Bee barf is not vegan.  For a more eloquent explanation of why honey is not vegan, check out our link Is Honey Vegan?
