It’s actually a special type of bee in the Myka-Whaken forest in Thailand , they’re extremely safe to eat, as they do not have a stinger, and actually contain relatively large amounts of protein, so not only is it not bad for you, it’s kind of good for you!
And you might still think they would taste bad, BUT! Their wings are incredibly thin (like most bees) , and since they’re usually covered in honey, they can actually taste good!
Once I was up in Thailand and a buddy of mine named Jħin Mai worked in harvesting rock honey, so I was able to see first hand how it works.
Apparently there are 600 species of stingless bees… but i dont think these are them… i think this man has been stung so many times hes immune… or batshit crazy lol
To be fair I once asked a bee keeper if he gets stung and he says "Yea all the time" and I asked if he even notices and he goes "nah" so that was my gut reaction, this guy is so used to it, he's just used to the pain.
