If you only knew the half of what they eat in China,----------- you would realize that the bees are included intentionally. The baker is getting a prime ingredient without having to pay for it.

I don't have a problem with that. Bees are good food, a perfect protein.

The bees are the ones that are coming away with the most benefit Pollen substitute, moisture, and sugar. If there were other attractive pmants and food scources in the area there would not be the swarms of bees. Wasps would be a different story.

Try to find and watch original Iron Chef (from Japan).  There's a Chinese chef named Chen Kenichi who really knows how to use really odd ingredients (well all the Iron Chefs do).  He made sardine ice cream once.
