question for the vegans

How do you all feel about animals used in the production and harvesting of produce? I've been trying to find information about it but all that I have found is information on how animals used for labor are frequently mistreated and abused but so far I haven't found much on where vegans stand on such things when the animals are well cared for. What initially piqued my interest was the use of bees in pollination, due to declining numbers of bees a fair number of farms have begun hiring beekeepers to bring their hives to their farm. There is also the fact that a local farmers' market has started to carry produce from an Amish family, it is all picked by hand but animals are used to plow the fields.

(I promise I'm not looking for an argument or debate I'm just curious about this one thing)
