Neither am I a vegan, but here's the buzz on honey from a vegan FAQ:

Q. What's the buzz about honey?

A. Many vegans choose to eliminate honey from their diets because they believe honey belongs to the bees, just as cows' milk belongs to the cows. In addition, many people object to the cruelty inherent in beekeeping: some bees are invariably killed when the beekeeper gathers honey, and some beekeepers burn their hives at the end of each year.

My favorite vegan FAQ is whether fellatio is allowed (link).

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
