Abstract
Entomophagy, the consumption of insects by humans, is a traditional practice in many countries around the world. In the northern part of Andros Island in Greece, a significant number of the inhabitants used to include bee brood in their diet. In this scientific note, results are presented from conducted interviews of field research during 2020 and 2021. The consumption varied greatly regarding the way bee brood was prepared (raw to well-cooked) and was abandoned ca. 60 years ago.
