Bees are insects. Insects die in the harvest of fruits and vegetables (look in
your lettuce and celery). If vegans worried about harming insects, they would
starve.

But then millions of mice and earth worms, die each year in the cultivation and
harvest of vegetables. Thus is the moral burden of vegans.
