If you eat vegetables, there will be bugs in there, there's just no way around it. So already, it's established that being vegan is doing the least amount of harm to animals practically possible. Whats considered "practical" is what's in contention. It also depends heavily on your reason for being vegan, for instance a lot of people our age do it for the environment.
Personally I don't eat bugs because, gross, but I occasionally have bread that has honey in it because I'm not gonna bother to buy a different loaf if someone in my home grabs some with it in there. If that invalidates being being a vegan, that's a pretty unstable classification.
Yes, that is not what veganism is by the definition.
I'm with you, if someone accidentally buys something I'll eat/drink it, that happened to me yesterday. But that's why veganism is an ideal to strive for, not something you either are or aren't doing.
Also, what you're doing isn't "eating honey" how I meant it. You don't buy honey and you avoid buying items made with it. You're just not denying eating it if someone buys it accidentally, which is different. Honey's in a lot of stuff, it's hard to avoid.
All vegans do not eat honey.
If someone eats honey, they are not vegan. They are stricter vegetarians who avoid (presumably) dairy and eggs.
