Lovin' the larvae
Bybi also harvests bee drones larvae in order to manage the hives’ bee population and limit the spread of the varroa mite which has been harming bee populations across Europe.
Nothing is wasted, however, and it sells these larvae to Copenhagen’s top gastronomic restaurant, Noma, famous for its experimental cuisine inspired by Nordic flavours.
Voted many times the best restaurant in the world, Noma serves the bee larvae frozen. High in protein and fat, the lavae have a soft crunch and instantly melt in the mouth with a creamy, hazelnut flavour.
