Can I get some uncommon facts about vulture bees? They’re the carnivorous ones that make honey with meat. And is it one species or multiple?
Vulture bees are a few species in the genus Trigona found in South America. They don't actually make honey with meat. They do eat meat and then regurgitate it as a secretion that's high in protein and similar to the royal jelly made by other bees. This product is then stored in their hive and used much like pollen is used by other bees (since pollen is also high in protein). They make regular honey, too, but not in excess like honey bees do.
