> A bee gathers nectar and vomits honey.

I do not understand why some beekeepers use the word vomit in connection 
with honey.  Vomit has very unpleasant connotations to do with sickness and 
has nothing to do with the production of honey.  Hardly an image that we 
would want to promote for our honey.

"Vomit: to eject the contents of the stomach through the mouth; regurgitate; 
throw up."

The contents of a stomach are very different from that of a bees honey crop.

Best wishes
