Honey is produced by bees for bees; commercial extraction replaces it with sugar syrup and involves practices such as wing-clipping queens and culling hives, so most vegans use maple, agave or date syrups instead.

Do managed honeybees help wild pollinators?

Often the opposite — dense managed hives can outcompete wild bees for forage and spread pathogens. Habitat and pesticide reduction help wild pollinators far more.
