I have heard honey referred to as "bee barf" on a number of occasions.
This sounds better than bee spit or bee vomit.  This always sounded like
an accurate analysis of the product.  Think about where other foods come
from such as eggs, milk, meats, and fish.  I like rabbit so long as I am
not the one to butcher the rabbit.
