Yes, honey contains enzymes added by the worker bee, so “bee spit” is definitely involved. But she holds the nectar (honey-to-be) in a special “honey crop”, not the stomach she uses to digest food.
Honey is also a fine antibacterial substance. One of the proteins has been found to be effective against MRSA.

One man’s spit is another man’s honey.

At least everything is fresh. Let’s keep it even now… a bodily excretion for a bodily excretion no matter what you call it.

It isn’t just spit—it’s vomit, too.

Technically, it’s not fresh spit, though. It is progressively dehydrated spit. :)

Can it stay fresh in jars?
