Honeybees are awesome! So important for the ecosystems they're part of, which is almost all ecosystems in the world.
A lot of vegans don't use honey, because bees are insects (animals), and honey is their spit/vomit. Personally, my veganism is based in ethics, not rigid rules like "all animal products are bad". What harm is done to the bees, in collecting their honey? Assuming it isn't over-harvested, of course! I can't see any harm. And so, when honey shows up on an ingredient list, I don't necessarily shun that food as most vegans would. I don't buy honey, but I'll eat it!
Another point on honey. Most honey in grocery stores now isn't actually honey! It's sugarwater with thickener, dye, and honey flavouring. Sometimes it's corn syrup! Gross. This is true for most mass-produced honeys nowadays, especially for anything imported from China.
Anyhow, nice to see the bees in your area are doing alright! Thanks for building them somewhere to hang out :)
