      Honey? Bee vomit.

      Syrup? Tree blood.

          I was thinking of shellac. Comes from beetles. It’s also used in edible waxes, like what apples are coated in, IIRC.

    Then tell them they just filled their mouth with bug secretions.

    Why wait until Halloween? Go to your nearest coffee/tea shop and say it to folks who decide bug secretions are better than sugar in their beverage.
