Bee Pollen

This is bee food. It's pollen mixed with bee spit that is made and stored by the bee. It smells strange but tastes lovely; slightly fruity and slightly honey but not sweet. A tablespoon in cereal imparts a surprisingly deep creamy sensation. It's a good substitute for milk.
I hope the bees don't mind. I mean, is this pillage? 

Each piece is about the size of a pin-oat. Being pollen, cautions abound about allergies. Since it is ingested rather than airborne, I wonder does that reduce chances of reaction.
