Honey can be vegan. I have a friend who keeps endangered bees and as an unintended side effect of fostering their growth has honey that she has to give away because she doesn’t want it

So, if they were endangered cows and your friend didn't like milk, the milk would be vegan..?

Well veganism is about reducing suffering. If the cows didnt suffer to produce that milk, like no forced insemination, calfs aren't separated from their mother, male calfs aren’t slaughtered, the cows don’t have unnaturally large udders, you only take the over production and not steal the food from the calf and the cows live a good life then you could argue that the milk is vegan. But milk is not produced like that so milk is not vegan.
