The honey bees patiukan, tamo-ing tamusan and the wasps tabu-uan, lapinid, baga-baga, all have grubs. Those are their offspring. [DB says the larvae of the honey bees (including tamo-ing, patiukan) as well as the larvae of the large wasp tabu-uan) can all be eaten, but are usually cooked first but the honey, the wax and the fluid from which the honey is made, are all eaten raw but may be cooked to preserve it over a longer period. Many children eat not only the larvae of the various honey bees but even the larvae of various wasps and don't bother to cook them. These larvae are reportedly very good bait for fishing.]
