Not long after I started I neglected to remove every jelly frame from one
hive. When I had discovered this it was too late so I wondered at what stage
the cells <and their occupants> were at. I remember reading about Africans
eating other larvae and tried one. OK so it wasn't terrible but I've never
eaten another. I'd rather have fried grasshoppers any day, NOW there's a
meal. I've often wondered about the availablity of forage in extremely
depressed famine areas in India and Africa. It seems living in a desert
has its drawbacks. Has anyone ever seriously thought of the possibility
of using bee products <honey, pollen, etc> in areas such as this?
