      Mmm ... I bet that would go well with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

    What cut is that? It looks like a pork version of beef brisket (pectoral)...

        ...I reckon there is not a single restaurant in the world you can get a taste like that... In Balinese we would say: "sing ade ane adep" (there is no-one selling that / meaning 'something money can not buy' ) !
        Oh well, poor man's pride & joy.....

        It's super interesting that those bees don't form the traditional honeycomb.

        Yep, with a straw you can drink the honey straight from the little pods they make. The pictures are from imported Sumatran kelekele - the local (Balinese) are even smaller , about half the size.
        Compared to "normal\commercial" honey it is much more acid, quite liquid, but also incredibly flavorfull. The yield however is very small. Locally it is mostly used as internal medecine but also exteriorily, e.g. a few drops applied to small wounds makes them heal very fast and clean - a good thing in tropical climate. In the folklore department, honey from hives where trigona and "normal"\wild bees form a common nest (in a same tree hollow e.g.) is extremely rare and supposed to have magical powers if used correctly....

        We've had "normal"\wild bees twice form a colony in one of our garden tool shed's cupboard. Unfortunately the first was lost to an attack by a large black bee\maybe wasp? hunting mob and the second one (they recolonized 1 year later in the same spot) we recently lost to the geckos which we were unable to control.

            We let the Sumatran kelekele hive (pictures yesterday) grow strong for a year before making a first real harvest 10 days ago which yielded about 500ml (picture above). We checked on the nest today and with the end of the wet season pods are filling up quickly and we may be able to harvest every 2 or 3 months.... The flavor however is exquisite and we can taste the coconut and tea tree flowers, amongst others, from our garden.
