I was ready for this delicacy until I saw the inclusion of baby bees. In a world where food was scarce and bees were plenty, I wouldn’t care. And maybe bees are more plentiful there and it isn’t a big deal. But…I dunno. It doesn’t sit right with me.
Thr amount of bees that an average colony loses every day to natural hazards is way higher than would be lost with a serving of this.
Okay. Let’s add to the natural loss of baby bees by eating more of them. We don’t need bees anyway.
News item here in US claimed recently that food inflation is partly due to bees* dying. I believe the last part, not sure how much it contributes to the first part.
