VULTURE BEES

Their feeding habits seem unusual.
Could this be why their honey’s a unique taste?
These bees feed on decaying carrion.
With powerful mandibles they chew the dead
and then mix it with the sweetest nectar
that they collect from fresh blooms far and wide.
Floral fragrance and putrefying flesh.
Could this be why their honey’s a unique taste?
Their feeding habits seem unusual.
