Uganda: No stings attached – the most delicious honey

“How can any species have something so delicious and not have a sting?”

The stingless bee’s honey is runnier, sharper, sweeter than other honey – and apparently tastes like nothing on earth. Or so we gather from this movie clip from BUGS. Protagonists Josh Evans and Ben Reade join locals in Uganda in a trip to find the honey of stingless bees. They find it, taste it, and go a bit mad.

“Like squeezing honey out of mud! Like magic mud!” Ben exclaims, hands stained yellow as he pours honey into his mouth.

BUGS the film is currently on release in Denmark with DOXBiO and in other Nordic countries with Doc Lounge. All screenings here.

My search for insects that would feed the world (2)

I kept roaming the vast Expo area in Milan – all those impressive national pavilions showing how the respective countries were “feeding the planet”, as the Universal Exhibition’s theme suggested. Yet all the nations that regularly eat insects – they had somehow decided to hide to the world the fact that they do. More →
