Joined the local vietnamese boys and uncles for a rats catching trip,
didn't have catches,but did saw their way of catching.
One of the boys suggested we go for honey hunting.....
though it is illegal to do it in Vietnam,
heard it is under the protection of the nature.....
nevertheless we carry on.
The above is the 1st hive we encounter and the below is the 2nd and the last.
The experienced boy advised us,the uncles,to go away.
While he swiftly smoked and chopped the beehives down onto the aluminium bucket.
We had the taste of the honey and the honeycombe,
the honey sweet with abit of sour taste,
the honeycombe white was very nice to chew with.
One of the uncle pinced a big piece and put it into my mouth saying it is good for me,
i thought it was honey,not knowing that it was the bee larvae in the hneycombe,
Chewy ,abit sweet,milkyyyy or creamy,
before i could swallow,another piece came near to my mouth again,
Ummmp...i took it and start chewing again,
pinced another piece of the honey filled honeycombe and stuff it straight to the mouth again..... very delicious.....
Below is the bee larvaes in the honeycombe,
the vietnamese aunties pan fry it with oil.
