Anyways, I took an entomology (study of insects) class and it was very cool. I learned that honey is actually bee saliva. I thought that was a pretty neat fact. It's not just some liquid they have a special body part to produce.
Pretty tasty spit those four-winged striped bugs have, eh?

Yep, honey is bee vomit.

I agree with you. I can never understand vegetarians. I guess they're like everyone else.
I have some friends who seem to contradict themselves when they talk about being vegetarians. I will catch them eating fish and they will simply claim that vegetarians are allowed to eat fish, but not other meats. Oh, they just admitted that fish is meat? Therefore, they're not vegetarians!
