I've dealt with the same moral dilemma when I had switched from a vegetarian to a vegan diet. I had continued to consume honey for about six months, a year into my vegan journey, but then I realized two things:

  1. that the core principle of veganism is to no longer exploit any animals, including bees;

  2. that the bulk of available honey in stores does not come from ethical sources.

In most cases, it's not a win-win situation.
