save the bees...no honey please!

recently i was asked, why is honey not vegan?
i gave the simple answer, vegans do not consume any products that are derived from any animal. bees do not make honey with the intention of human consumption, therefore to consume honey would, in essence, be an exploitation of the animal, which may also involve undue suffering to the bees. right?
well, yes, partly. but it was for the most part just a universal knowledge to me that vegans DON'T eat honey.
so off i went to go look it up and read up on it and i came across this section on bees from the Vegan Society website. i had no idea how horribly that bees were treated in the process of making honey!! for the love of bees, don't eat honey!!
