The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

I was unaware vegans did not eat honey. Feels like a plant product that animals prepare. I mean we are stealing it from them though.

It is an animal product that is produced from their bodies. Using the same logic you could argue meat is a plant product as cows eat grass and hay.

Honey is more like milk than meat, ethically speaking. You don't have to kill the animal to get it.
