The most important reason for sure is that honey kills bees and its unlikely as a consumer you will ever be assured the bees dont suffer but also bees dont make honey to be taken and cant consent to such a relationship. The idea that humans can treat animals as a resource and still act in their best interest is a comforting rationalisation to objectify animals into machines to produce for us. After all, the first honey farm would have been small scale but fundamentally treating animals like machines will always lead to their being increasingly exploited to maximise output.
