But I think their objection is the fact that commercial growing of bees
(for want of a better term:) is on a much, much larger scale than would
occur naturally.  To borrow a line from Metallica: "I was born for
dying."

However, what I know about bees you could write here: -><-.  You should
probably ask a real vegan.

I think the objection to dairy products follows similar lines: that cows
are artificially kept pregnant so they will keep producing milk...

Vive la difference!

Cheers,

Paul.
