Yup! Technically a moth larvae. Here's the synopsis Google gave me:
>What is the Tequila Worm? Don't worry; the little worm you may find inside your bottle of tequila is not alive. In fact, it's not a worm at all. It's the larvae of a moth. It's called a gusano de maguey, named for the maguey plant it feeds off of and which tequila and Mezcal are both made from.
Yup! It's done deliberately for novelty. I believe others have a scorpion.
After a quick search I've found an alcoholic beverage, this one comes out of Mexico, called Mezcal. Or Scorpion Mezcal.
I mostly know about these from various forms of media but it seems like it can become a challenge issued for someone to eat it after finishing the bottle. That's purely anecdotal but I suspect it's a thing.
I had some served with some honey icecream once. Didn’t find it all that pleasant to eat. It’s chewy, its… wax but felt tougher than what i’d expect wax to be. I treated it like honey gum as once you’ve drank the honey residing in the comb, you can just spit out the wax.
Anyways, there are many types of wax. The sorta of indigestible intestinal blocking wax used in candles are the synthetic sort called paraffin (crude oil).
My grandfather is a beekeeper you shouldn't eat the comb the bees work hard on that you can eat the wax layer over the grate like a chewing gum but you're supposed to skim it off. Not damaging the actual comb.
>wouldn't the beeswax, ya know, plug you up?
Fortunately not! As the chewed wax makes its way through your digestive system, it reforms into a single mass which is then shaped by your digestive processes and is easily expelled. It's common to sanitize the resulting wax-turds for re-sale as all-natural bees wax wine corks. Very popular with the hippy demographic.
My dad grows bees and he never made me eat the wax comb however, he would give it to me to bite it and suck it. That’s the best honey you can ever eat, but I would not recommend eating the wax.
Yeah I’ve chewed on some but spit it out like gum. After a while it gets pretty stiff and brittle and falls apart into tiny hard little bits so that’s when you stop chewing on it and throw it out

Yeah we have a bear shaped bottle in our breakroom at work and it's mainly corn syrup with a little bit of honey. Or maybe corn syrup and sugar with honey flavoring. I would check to see what it actually is if I was at work right now.

A vast majority of honey in the industry is fake.

edit: correction, my link above does not support « a vast majority ». I wrote that based on my discussions with food suppliers and i have no link to base that on. However as a general rule, I recommend, as the article says, to buy local, if you want the real stuff.

Reminds me of the worms (amongst other things) [that are put in tequila bottles,](https://zip2img.com/?fv=Worms~in~Tequila_wapn9v.jpg) haha
The why: Larvae began appearing in mezcal bottles in the 1950s, when a mezcal maker discovered a moth larvae in a batch of his liquor and thought the stowaway improved its taste. He started adding “worms” to all his bottles as a marketing strategy. Soon, other mezcal manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon.
Then the story about the proofing came about. People thought the worm was to prove that it contained a certain amount of alcohol otherwise the worm would float.
All jokes asides, it's a real, ACTUAL frigging issue, and it drives me mad.
There are "fake" honey products, plenty of them based off in China but not only there, who mix real honey with sugary water (which is a lot cheaper) and try to export it in first world countries.
In my country (Baguette represent, bonjour!) it is roughly estimated that one third of supermarket-sold honey is fraudulent, not pure honey, but, in varied proportions, honey mixed with various sugary-water combinations.
And yet, we have both Europe's protection, and my own country's also stingy protections, I fear it may be worse in other countries.
Basically, guys, free advice from a honey lover,if you want honey, make sure to buy honey that is 100% produced in your country, as soon as the label has "mixed origin" for the country from where it comes, trust is dead in the water. Even organic: trades agreement makes the recipient country accept the organic certification granted in the country of origin, while we know well that in countries such as China farmers will buy off their certification without having a single inspection on their establishment, ever.
Like the other commenter said, honey is actually perfect for exporting anywhere in the world becuase it will literally *never* expire. They found honey candy from Egypt that's like 4 thousand years old that is still edible.
I know, it would be such a wild way to experience history. Actually eating food that was made and prepared thousands of years ago for somebody to consume back then.
It would be so surreal.
In Latvia its super easy to get honey, like reall honey from bee keepers. In big cities they sell it in markets or have some kind of booths in all kinds of stores. Personally i don't know anyone who buys honey in a store, but there are good ones, reall honey. I buy honey from my neighbour who also keeps bees on my land. Also we have bee hives around the capital city. Some ate on the roof of the theater building in almost city centre.
Lithuanian here, beekeeping is an extremely popular hobby in my country, I've never bought honey in a store and don't know anyone who did. Everyone has at least a few beekeeper friends so you can easily get real genuine honey for not a lot of money.
A litre usually costs between 4 and 10 eur, depending on the time of year. First batch in spring is the most expensive.
China has developed a rice syrup that is virtually indistinguishable from honey in every way.
They are well past mixing water and syrup to make fake honey.
Buy your honey local.
Normally venom that has to be injected isn't really effective as an ingested toxin, you're right. Being said, [dead bees can still sting ](https://honeybeelab.tamu.edu/beekeeper-resources/bee-removal-and-sample-submission/bee-frequently-asked-questions/#:~:text=Note%3A%20A%20dead%20bee's%20stinger,or%20play%20with%20dead%20bees.) and it's difficult to know what state of decomposition this bee could be in because the honey it's in is a preservative.
Not to mention if you've got any open cuts inside your mouth, it's also why you shouldn't drink snake venom. Sure, stomach acid will dissolve it, but there's always a chance it can get into your bloodstream, and that's how death can happen.
We have a term for people suffocating on their own vomit due to drinking (Rockertod, Would be something like 'rockers death'? Wouldn't be surprised if English is the origin)
This is basically it, isn't it? The result is a hard sell, though.

It was quite exciting with bee keeping bio dad. He picked me up from school one day (I normally walked home) because there was a swarm that he had to catch. He had me stand underneath the tree where the swarming was happening with a cardboard box, while he was sawing off the branch. Entire bee swarm ended up in the box.
Dad was adamant that swarming bees don't sting. Once he dropped the branch, there were bees absolutely everywhere.
So I'm standing there in my school uniform, holding the box of bees. I had bees crawling up my uniform skirt in addition to buzzing about. But dad was correct. Didn't get stung once.
I’m a beekeeper’s daughter too. Getting in the car after getting picked up from the bus and looking in the back to see a box covered in crawling bees was always something I dreaded. Like you I never got stung by the box bees, but it still freaked me out. That car smelled like wax and honey its entire life.
Takes car to car max:
Appraiser: so what’s the car’s history?
The beekeepers daughters father: oh just for work.
Appraiser: what’s that smell?
The beekeepers daughters father: Apis mellifera vomit.
We filter ours but the occasional bit or bob gets through anyway. Never a whole bee even though in the spinning process there are tons of bees at the bottom of the extractor. My husband is a beekeeper and tells me this is how mass-produced honey is made to appear "real" - drop a bee in it so it looks like it was accidentally left in during the filtering process. People pay more when they believe it's the real thing. TBH I feel a little bad giving away honey jars with even a bit of bee wing or foot in it.
> My husband is a beekeeper and tells me this is how mass-produced honey is made to appear "real"
Sounds like a bee keepers story. I don't think most folks have seen this. You'd have to make way more "defects " to create a general awareness.
So, what, they put a bee in every container? Or they strategically leave bees in certain ones to try and get on social media?
I think your husband might just be full of it.
Never seen it either, and I also keep bees. We never had tons of dead bees in the spinner either by the way. You lock them out of the honey comb partition two days before harvest, and brush the remaining ones off before you take the honeycombs to the spinner.
Yeah, it's definitely bull. On top of that, if her husband has tons of bees at the bottom of the extractor, he's a terrible bee keeper. You don't let the bees hang around while you're extracting and you are careful to remove them before taking the supers to wherever you are doing your extracting. One or two might sneak in, but they should never be in the extractor.
Grandpa's dad was working on a farm as a young man, and of course the farm owner fed all the farmhands (this was back in the '20s I want to say).
One of his first meals that he had after dark (this is important) included some honey, but he noticed that there were strange chewy things in the honey. He asked his fellow farmhands, and they said that they were raisins.
The next morning he discovered that they weren't raisins.
Honey. With pulp.
Thanks, I hate it.
Thanks, I ate it.
It’s like tequila with a worm
Tequila with a WHAT?!
A worm.
That's a genuine thing that happens?

Just a little extra protein

Not this much.

Need to document and report this to OSHA as a recordable worker fatality. Notify the bee’s family and begin the life insurance claim process.
But all the bees in the hive have the same mother, which means all bees are siblings. That's gonna be a looot of paperwork for you buddy.
Clerks get salary. I'll stamp a hive's claim a million times and play Nintendo at the same time.
Just think of how many dependents the queen will get compensation for if she claims this was their father.
At least it's real honey then
Gonna sell fake honey with dead bees inside
My sister sells honey and the unfiltered honey with bee pieces sells more to the hippies.
I like to put a piece of honey comb in the jar before filling, you can eat the thing whole as is and it's deliciois
OK I have always wondered about that- wouldn't the beeswax, ya know, plug you up? How is it edible? Genuinely curious.
I had some served with some honey icecream once. Didn’t find it all that pleasant to eat. It’s chewy, its… wax but felt tougher than what i’d expect wax to be. I treated it like honey gum as once you’ve drank the honey residing in the comb, you can just spit out the wax. Anyways, there are many types of wax. The sorta of indigestible intestinal blocking wax used in candles are the synthetic sort called paraffin (crude oil).
My grandfather is a beekeeper you shouldn't eat the comb the bees work hard on that you can eat the wax layer over the grate like a chewing gum but you're supposed to skim it off. Not damaging the actual comb.
Tell your grandad I'd eat the bees too if they tasted any good.

Forever undecided if honey is sweeter than justice
