Honey is factory farmed. Bees are fed a mixture of high fructose corn syrup and water instead of pollen to create their honey. And even in cases where they are allowed to pollinate, the plants are covered in pesticides and chemicals. Have you heard of bee colonies disappearing? That's why.
PETA has a great article about it.
It's not that hard to avoid, if you avoid packaged foods. Some breads have honey in them, but I always check the ingredients anyway since some have milk products also. Plus, the extra sugar isn't doing any of us any favors. Have some fruit instead.
"Hey, peoples—leave them bees alone!"
