Reply To: Eggs: chumra to treat then like fleishig

shrags – “Then you cant eat honey. It would be not kosher.”

Honey is different. The Gemara gives two reasons why honey is muttar (and not considered something that came from the be),

The Gemara Bechoros 7b explains that honey is kosher since it is not an actual secretion of the bee; the bee functions only as a carrier and facilitator. Honey is kosher flower nectar, which enters the bee’s honey sac and is transformed into honey.

The second opinion in the Gemara permits honey because of a g’zairas hakasuv, a deduction from a pasuk (Vayikra 11:21 Ach es zeh).

Therefore, the halacha is that honey is kosher despite the fact that it comes from the non-kosher honeybee ( Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 81:8).

These reasons would not apply to eggs (to differentiate them from being part of the chicken).
