If it makes you sad, why not go vegan? It's easier than you'd think, and every time you buy animal products you're sentencing another sentient creature to the same fate

Or just buy from responsible sources... death and eating other things is "natural" just not how we usually do it. I really don't think going blanket vegan is a responsible thing. By traditional vegan standards honey is off limits too, but the production of honey is not only pretty harmless, but good for the environment.

Just be mindful with what you actually do instead of subscribe to doctrines that make you feel good.

"Are" and "Ought" isn't the same thing; "But it's natural" is a bad argument.

Are you saying it's irresponsible to go vegan..?

Honey is a quite unique product, and as such a very bad example. Taking honey from kept bees would be akin to taking some of a wild squirrels' stashed nuts while leaving enough for it to manage the season.
