      As vulture bee honey is derived from animal flesh, it is not suitable for vegetarians.

      Phew that’s good to know! Nearly gourged myself on some corpse honey

        Honey produced by vulture bees is a pleasant tasting and sweet smelling honey-like liquid.

        It’s strange that it doesn’t taste like rotten flesh.

    Using their extra-toothed mandible, they will slice and chew the flesh off, coating the meat in their acid-rich saliva before consumption. The bee will transport the chewed carrion back to the colony where it’s regurgitated into wax pots, different from the honey pots.

    Here, the meat will be mixed with honey and left to mature over a period of 14 days. During this curing time, it will become a paste-like substance that is rich in free amino acids and sugars. This paste is fed to their young, who need it to grow.

    Source

    So basically a potted meat but with sugar instead of fat. Apparently they also keep normal honey that’s separate from the meat honey. Bees are so fucking cool.

      Have you ever thought about blue cheese?

      “Let’s try drinking the milk from an animal”

      “Oh, it’s kinda gross and solid ish now. Still tastes good though”

      “Oh wait, it’s gone really mouldy. Let’s slap it on some chicken wings”

      While I would agree on the surface, it’s not really depravity. We’ve got to do away with rotting meat somehow. Hence why vultures are so important.

      Still upvoted though.

        I just wanted to use that word… The whole sentence is just a word game given that personifying environment into nature is common, but wrong.

      Like is that at all surprising? Starvation was a leading cause of death through much of history and pre-history, of course folks start to eat and drink dubious things. Ever heard of folks sucking the eyes out of fish to get fresh water? That’s on the milder end of what our instincts will force us to do under the right circumstances.
