I recently learned that in many countries, eating honeybee and wasp brood is common. I found a beautiful section of newly drawn and capped drone brood in a spacer on a hive I was working, so I decided today was the day to try it. My American friends think I’m crazy for doing this. They may be right, but you only live once. Wasp brood is next.
Wonderful! And you are not wrong at all, quite adventurous actually! I’ve heard of dead drones in spring (after a deliberate colony purge only) as a coveted medicinal in Slavic regions. Also, in many old cultures they would use the wasp and other comb to age cheeses. :).
