hi All,
This thread has prompted me to remember an experience I had  2 weeks ago, when I had fnished
extracting some honey. I liked a very sticky finger, only to find as I was chewing a bit of wax a
crunchy sensation and the most amazing aromatic flavour which was extremely pleasant. It was very
like fresh new propolis. I then stopped to see what I was eating. This turned out to be a poor wee
bee, but very tasty it was ! I wonder if this was a bee which was involved in propolis collection.
 
The Chinese graduate student in my lab eats capped brood stir fried, but I have not heard of anyone
eating adult bees, but this particular one was very good! (although I have not rushed to repeat the
experience)
 
Bye'yall
 
Steve
