I am uncertain as to what this phrase intends:

The bee larvae are voluntarily kept within the honeycomb during the preparation…

as opposed to doing it on accident or by chance, I think is the intent. They are choosing to keep the bee larvae in.

Are you saying that the Queen Bee is in on it? Like, she just volunteers her little larvae babies to be human snacks?

Sacrifices made as an offer to their God who keeps them safe and provides them with housing. An honourable exchange!

If only us humans would follow their example. Then we could solve the housing problems we have all around the world with ease!

Maybe they meant "intentionally"

Oh that’s good to hear, based on another person’s comment it seemed like maybe the queen was just offering them up without their consent
