I emailed Jean Paul Gaultier to ask if their cosmetics are vegan, and found out that bees are not animals and that they're appropriate for vegetarians. (lemmy.vg)

Apart from it obviously not being vegan - others jumped that train already - honey bee industry is actually pretty bad for the environment. Especially in areas with a lack of natural pollinators the competition honey bees place further destabilizes the ecosystem, even worsening the insect die-off.

(That's not the article I learned it from, just the first one I found on that matter. Feel free to recommend better ones.)
