Most people, including myself consider honey to not be vegan. I'll admit that it's a lower moral priority for me, since insects very likely have a much lower capacity for sentience than mammals, birds and aquatic creatures. My specific issues with honey production are both moral and environmental:

• Artificial insemination typically requires the crushing of drones to extract semen.
• It's pretty common practice to clip the wings of queens to keep them from leaving the hive.
• Transporting bees and hives increases the spread of diseases which can affect wild insects.
• Western Honeybees are invasive to many parts of the world, including the Americas.
• Studies have shown that Honeybees disrupt local plant/pollinator networks by outcompeting local pollinators.
