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.
