Honey can be subbed with agave nectar, but that won't be easily obtained from local sources... What about Stevia?

We feed the bees when they need it and take a little of their honey when we need it. Plus we get lots of sugar from carrots, parsnips and other rootcrops here in Ireland. What's the fixation with sugar?? What’s wrong with honey. We feed the bees when they need it and take a little of their honey when we need it.

I would like to add to the vegan sugar point.. I belong to India where more than 90% people are vegan. So, well its not hard to believe that they do exist and a news related to it being processed in animal-derived bone char might cause a major political upheaval here as the religious sentiments go along.. but the price over here is naturally spiraling too.. 1kg comes for around .67 $.

I'd love to try growing my own sugar beets, though! I think local honey is about as sustainable as you can get, as far as sweeteners go. I’d love to try growing my own sugar beets, though!
