    I mean they use the honey/byproduct to feed the larve/babies, so... yeah, it's harm to the animals. But in the grand-scheme of things, most bee-keepers tap the hives and still leave some honey (IIRC) for the hive to use. So I don't think it's necessarily "harm" harm, but wouldn't be vegan if you're hardcore.
