Honey is not vomit as it does not reach the stomach. They store it in a special chamber in their esophagus.
Honey is the result of bees deepthroating nectar then spitting it out.

I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it's gross.
Gross. But also not much grosser than eating off delicious animal corpses.
Those honey stick ball spoon things are so fucking dumb. Just use a regular spoon, fork, or butter knife.
Never used one myself, but apparently lightly spinning them helps the honey not drip because it's so viscous. Stop spinning it and it can be drizzled.
Had to search online because I never understood why one would not just use a spoon either, but if it means there's not as many little honey trails on the edge of the container, I can see the point. Learned something new today!
You can do that rolling trick for the dribble with standard flatware, you do have to spin faster though to get it to work well.
The same idea applies to things you’re pouring out of; twist axially while tipping the container upright and you’ll have dramatically less spillage, even with viscous fluids like honey.
you leave my honey wand alone
You're a wizard, Fedizen!
I think if you've got a pot of clear honey, something about the metal changes the honey. We got a pot from a local one time and it was awesome to start with but kept getting cloudier over time (could also be something far simpler, like oxygen!)
The honey starts to crystalize. If you put it in some warm water it will return to normal:
...Why did they pour it into a contact lens though?
Better adhesion
Second strong contender is a particular termite's ant's poop which lives in the jungle and is also mostly sugar.
EDIT: I misremembered, it's an ant. Here's a neat article about it.
Nah it’s more like cookie crumb.
Link?
Honey is great, but probably my favorite most interesting bug byproduct is shellac.
chitin&chitosan
research
TLDR: "Chitosan and derivatives have been explored in the development of nanomaterials, bioadhesives, wound dressing materials, improved drug delivery systems, enteric coatings, and in medical devices."
How many others have we tried? 🤨
Thank you so much for volunteering, for the sake of science! :-P
Yes, so far... Hehehe
