  • Bees have a separate stomach just for storing nectar that doesn’t have any digestive juices, so it’s not vomit vomit, but they do swallow the nectar down as they drink it from flowers and then regurgitate it back up into a cell in the wax comb back at the hive. They then evaporate most of the water out of it with air from their wings. When it’s full of honey, they cap the cell off with more wax.

    At some point the beekeeper takes a portion of the honeycomb out of the hive, and brushes any bees still on it off into the hive. The caps are cut off to let the honey out, and then typically it is centrifuged to get the honey out quickly. There’s a lot more details of course, but that’s the jist of it.



  • I made a similar flavor combination the other way around once. At the time I sometimes used a Keurig to make coffee and then again to make instant oatmeal. I thought it would be funny to come up with the shitty life hack of combining them into one process. I had to actually try it once, partly out of curiosity of how bad it could be, and partly to get a picture to post my “genius” idea on r/shittylifehacks.

    It was bad. Not “I might throw up” levels of bad, but eating it was just such a slog. I wasn’t willing to waste a perfectly edible bowl of oatmeal for a joke, so I soldiered on through a very unsatisfying breakfast. Annoyingly, I didn’t even have a cup of coffee to wash it down with.

    The dumbest part is that after going through all that, I never actually got around to making the post, and stopped participating on reddit a couple years ago now.
