Thanks. I avoid honey because it’s easier for me as a vegan to just avoid all foods involving farmed animals. But some of your points seem valid and I’ll need to think it over.
Some things I disagreed with:
The net-positive vs. net-negative framing, although you addressed this.
The claim about not contributing financially by buying honey having no effect—doesn’t seem right since the profit margin is still lower that way.
Ignoring environmental effects and biodiversity, though I get that the post is in response to a different claim.
