OK, I'm convinced--honey perpetuates cruelty to bees (knew about the oysters, etc.), but it is a good source of nutrients, has healing powers (on cuts), and we (vegans, organiques) do need the rent-a-bees to pollinate the blueberries and other fruits and veggies we need to a) survive b) remain vegan and c) foster neural health. Without them, what's left? Each other. Each others' blood. We need to become vampires and suck our nutrition from the necks of those whose blood is pure or at least healthy enough for us to imbibe so that we don't have to rely on innocent insects or farm animals for food or their role (e.g., bees' pollination of fruits and veggies) in its production. Life sucks, doesn't it? I guess we should, too.
