You missed the distinction in describing honey as “bee vomit.” Strictly speaking it is bee regurgitation. Regurgitation is the voluntary bringing up of nutrients. Vomiting is involuntary.

If you own, have ever owned, or know someone who owns, cats, then you should know that the distinction between "voluntary" and "involuntary" is extremely fine. Besides, doesn't "bee vomit" sound incredibly appetizing?
