Bee and the Vegetarian Diet

Bees are flying insects that are primarily known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. While bees themselves are not typically consumed as food, they are integral to the production of honey, a natural sweetener. The consumption of bees or products directly derived from them is generally not considered vegetarian, as vegetarians avoid ingredients derived from animals.
