Shout out to the bees who gave their honey not knowing it was gonna be used for this weird shit
Shout out to all those who don't know what the opposite of in is
Wait for it. Wait for it...
Lol
They didn't give it.
Is getting robbed 🤔
@@johninaryan951 Actually, modern honey bees have been bred for centuries to produce WAY more honey than they actually need, to the point of filling up potential nest combs with honey instead. And since the box hives honey bees are kept in don't allow the hive to expand endlessly, they NEED to have honey removed from their nest so they don't simply age out and all die, as drone bees (the ones who collect honey and make up the majority of the nest's numbers) don't live long. It's much less like robbing someone of their precious jewelry, and much more like going into a hoarder's house and cleaning out the clutter so they have living space. So don't feel bad about it, go and enjoy some honey! Those little bees work hard to make so much in order to have extra to give to us, and buying honey, even commercial honey, helps to support bee farmers who spend a LOT of money on repairing hives, building new hives, planting flowers (mostly clover) and other things to keep the bees happy, healthy, and safe.
@@kiradeki3561 respectfully, drones are the males, whose sole purpose is to mate with unmated queens during their mating flight. Drones do not collect honey, they only eat it. Female workers collect all the honey, live for ~42 days, but do not lay eggs. Queen bees lay all the eggs.
In the wild, a hive which fills its nest with honey, swarm. A swarm splits the hive, and each female worker that swarms takes a stomach full of honey along. "A swarm in May, is worth a bale of hay, a swarm in July isn't worth a fly", because late swarms typically don't survive until next spring.
Apis mellifera (bees) have managed to survive for millennia without our careful husbandry. Any hive, given enough forage and hive space, should produce well, that being wild bees or not.
*finds jar of honey*
*dips bread into it*

Oh. There’s a child.
*Dips anyway*
@@budmeister of course, corpse honey's good for what ails ya!
So, I have pets and children. Occasionally a dog or cat hair ends up in food. No big deal, pick it out and finish eating. But if there is a human hair in my food, I get nauseous and can't finish eating. It completely grosses me out.
No, I'm not eating my pets or kids. Just thought I'd point that out, because I know somebody's going to ask ha ha. Plus, my 10 yr old daughter and I just got done watching the Donner Party episode. My daughter likes to cook. Those tidbits of information are not related.
Or are they.....?
Grumplebump can't tell if you got the reference or not...
@@ritafeilmeier3486 Same here for some reason. My hair is waist length and is always trying to creep into everything, my husband is surprised he doesn't eat more of it.
I was eating while I watched this and when Caitlin got to the bread dipping, hair from a child part, I gagged. Done with dinner.
"Candied remains" was never a phrase I thought I would ever ever ever hear in my life.
WisMicYal11 another name for a metal band. Lolol
@@aslux2802 I dunno, I think its got a more Deathrock horror punk vibe.
@@aslux2802 Or a Suicide Girl!
(Are Suicide Girls still A Thing™? Opens incognito tab for, ahem, research 😛)
Lmao right? Candied Remains.... and the fact that every person's first instinct is to eat it without looking...... um.... further into it....
Need this as a patch. Yes, it will be on my butt!
“Why must we always eat the corpse honey”
~ ask a mortician (2018)
Because why not.
"Always check your honey for preserved children inside" 😂😂😂
I lost it at that point. Too funny, honey.
I laughed/screamed when the pic of the child in the jar came up lmao
Justitia Nomen that was the most horrifying thing in the whole video. I can deal with Bentham’s head, no problem. Honey-colored, eyeless child? NOPE!
Got me too 😂
Kristen Kellick honey coloured and I’m guessing flavoured children too. Yum. Whoever says that they love children but that they couldn’t eat a whole one has never tried one coated in honey. I’m guessing.
3:09 I’m a veterinary technician and can confirm honey is still used in open wounds as an antimicrobial. I’ve seen manuka honey used commonly but you can now buy specific medical-grade honey dressings as well. It works. Won’t cause antibiotic resistance, either.
People wounds too!
As a nurse a can also confirm. Also sterile maggots are a thing for diabetic ulcers.
@@janedoex1398 Let's not forget 'sterile tapeworms' for weight loss. Discredited practice. Mostly.
I had surgery and, when I got home, the wound got infected and the antibiotic they prescribed over the phone didn't work so I went beck to the medical center to see the surgeon. I was kind of surprised when he gave me manuka honey dressings to put on it but the infection cleared right up.
Honestly, I'm rethinking my love of manuka honey as a cure all. It's now feeling like the same song just a different verse.
May I instead be wrapped in a pancake and embalmed in maple syrup? We could call it Vermontification.
Krip Vorlund That was actually hilarious, thank you
You win the comment section.
This comment sounds very Canadian
Ohhh, Canadians are about 83% maple syrup just in general, so when we die we just use maple syrup instead of embalming fluid. Can’t let Vermont go stealing the glory, no sir. FYI we call them Maple Mummies.
@@HighTideSoaps Syruputrefaction, though. I know the whole point of the mummifying is you don't actually rot, but it's a pun!
IT ISNT SEXUAL,
STRICTLY CONFECTIONAL,
STRICTLY MEDICINAL,
IF A LITTLE NON TRADITIONAL
💛SWEET BOD💛
keybard all wrapped up like a mummy, ooooo, I’ll cover you in honey
We stan some lemon demon
Ayyy
FINALLY A NEIL REFERENCE
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
Is Winnie the Pooh a Deathling ?
Gonna say yes.
Eeeyore is for sure.
Ask A Mortician just think about many eco burials you could do in the 100 acre wood
Duh
Omg Pooh is trying to slowly mummify himself!
there's a song about this! sweet bod by lemon demon
didn’t expect this, but nice
Omg didn't expect to see this here!
Peep the pavi pfp as well 👀
YOUR BODY IS SO SWEET NOW
@@biohazardousgeodez Baby, I'm saying trick or treat now
IS THIS HOW YOU GET YOUR HAIR SO SHINY????
Need to get that haircare spon con deal lined up.
ITS SO SMOOTH AND SILKY PLEASE CAITLIN TELL US
@@AskAMortician AAAAAAAAAAAA HOLY SHIT YOUR RESPONDED OH MY GOD
Honey hair treatments, clearly 😉 (they do work, too! Warm honey and olive oil hair masks)
@@ciel9112 It's like being invited to a rock star's dressing room.
You've been noticed.....
Just remember, it’s not sexual, it’s strictly confectional, and purely medicinal, though it is a little non-traditional.
“Always check your honey for preserved children inside” thank you I will
Human children in bee spit. And you thought it couldn't get more interesting :D
Embalme me in honey so I can, for one last time be a certified SNACK
*Asks lecturer to use bathroom*
*Stops in an empty lecture hall to watch Caitlin*
This is fine. I’m fine.
We all have our.... SECRETS.
Greatest reply.
Maelle Safvet Hahaha!
Funny. Clever.
@@AskAMortician , I must say, I do have a crush on you. Must be your intellectual being and your beauty..
Hey Caitlin a year an a half ago i stumbled upon your channel after finding out my grandpa was terminally ill from cancer. I never had anyone so close to me pass away and was terrified about the whole process. Well this week the time has come and he is due to pass any day now. Watching your videos has given me a whole new perspective on death and now im little better prepared with whats to come, doesnt mean all of this is any easier but it has calmed me in away that i never expected. I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do in this community
I think the preserved child corpse and the bread dipping is the only thing on this channel that I've ever found truly disturbing,and that's saying a lot, given the wealth of other potential nightmare fuel over the years.
I agree....but it wasn't just the child. People were using honey with corpse goo in it too.
For me the most disturbing story always will be that one about a man who was boiled alive😣
Same. Ugh.
@@csmith8404 I think it was the floating hair image that did it.. 🤢
@@mrpurple11 Bleh, yep, I think I suppressed that one.
Mellified is such a pleasant sounding word. And the idea of a completely honey-saturated person is strangely intriguing.
Imagine being an archeologist and finding a corpse entombed in honey. SURPRISE! (totally posted that before seeing the child-in-honey part. LOL)
@@alx81 I wish!!! 😂
@frank hargreaves that's a saying? Tbh I'd have linked it more closely to sugar daddies than corpse children
@frank hargreaves lol sure you are and a saying is an expression so it still stands. You can't deny honey child would be a good description for the opposite of a sugar daddy
All wrapped up like a mummy, I'll cover you in honey
And wait a hundred years or sooo-
I can think of nothing but Lemon Demon when it comes to this topic.
Found another fan 🍋
So, Winnie the Pooh knew what he was doing ! Awesome video !
belizeguy darn. There goes my joke
Oh bother...help me Rabbit I'm stuck..
Hahahaha love it great reply.
Childhood=ruined
Lol
There's actually a song about this called "Sweet Bod" by Lemon Demon
Fiona lmao
That's literally why I clicked on this
(In a Trixie Mattel voice) Oh Honey
HOOOOOOONEEEYYYYYYY
I wonder if Caitlyn has met her? I know she's friends with Laganga...
I’m dying from laughter
I have been waiting for this comment
😂😂😂 i was thinking this the whole time
Happened to be drinking honey cayenne ginger cinnamon lemon water like a good Angeleno while watching this. THANKS, CAITLIN. If there's not a dead baby at the bottom of this bottle I'll be pissed.
I'm just gonna be straight here...That's way too many damn flavors and names in a fucking water.Flavored water in general is pushing it but that's just wrong and sick. I rather dip my bread in child honey than drink water with that many names in it.
Honey cayenne lemon...is it for a sore throat? (Tried making that once but overdid the cayenne. )
Hmmm, doesnt sound gross enough. Add horseraddish, tumeric, garlic , vinegar and onion.
"honey cayenne ginger cinnamon lemon water" WTF? I'll stick with beer myself.
That's a diet drink lol
YOU GET EMBALMED IN HONEY, AND YOU GET EMBALMED IN HONEY! EVERYONE GETS EMBALMED IN HONEY!
Ooooh we got Oprah Brinfrey over here!!!
“ his sweat would be honey. His blood would be honey. His urine would be honey”. That sounds like me when I was in diabetic keto acidosis.
LMAO SAME (sincerely a t1d) i couldnt imagine eating so much honey bc as my sugar got higher id just be yakking it back up as my blood slowly eats away at my body so that would absolutely suck😭😭
Type 2 here. I think the abundance of sugar and lack of protein is what probably killed him not the starvation.
So when will your funeral home offer honey embalming?
That would be sweet.
Ha funny
I see what you did there...
To that I say
ruclips.net/video/EJSZVHTOzEE/видео.html
@@prizmarvalschi1319 Well THAT was the weirdest thing I've seen in a while!
every time I hear mention of the mellified man I just think of Sweet Bod by Lemon Demon
That honey child face is haunting!
And now every time I call my children “honey,” some small part of me will cringe.
I feel like a stuck record, but Caitlin is the funniest person on RUclips.
Gloriously inappropriate too.
And totally gorgeous, to boot!
I agree! 100%
Completely agree!
I came here from Lemon Demon's "Sweet Bod" and had to know more. You have gained a new deathling to your ranks today
Honey does indeed possess antiseptic properties. It doesn't spoil or go rancid for precisely that reason, it kills the bacteria that would try. Raw honey is filled with particulates, like bee legs, that would rot, but the honey prevents that. A body immersed in honey would preserve the outside but utterly fail to kill the bactetia in the intestinal tract, or in other internal parts of the body.
As a side note: Honey is actually regurgitated flower nectar, or as I like to put it, Bee Vomit!
I love bee vomit on crumpets 😃 mmmm!
Probably why they ate it etc....get it all up inside....
Bee vomit on seeded bread 🍞
Mead is fermented bee vomit - would that help kill the inner bacteria by both being honey AND being alcohol?
That's the bees knees
But I don't want to be the bees knees I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees
MELLIFIED MAN! THANK YOU i had been misremembering this term as mollified, from a presentation a student gave back in college. i had such a hard time finding any information on this a decade and a half because of the misspelling that i thought i made the whole thing up 😅
I want a t-shirt with "Why must we always eat the corpse honey?" on it.
„why must we always eat the corpse honey?“ XD
Thisss
Has anyone tried mummification by tree resin? Can I become like an ancient insect, trapped in amber?
Ohhhh yes curious minds want to know!
A lot of Egyptian mummies were embalmed with tree resin so it is definitely an option
@@missingallmymarbles7670 but only after their internal organs were removed.
And if you wait long enough, they'll clone you, and open a park in your name.
Next Jurassic Park, they bring back people using DNA entombed in Amber but the fuckboys gets out and start harassing everyone for nudes
Man. Honey is expensive so I can’t imagine how filthy rich is the person who is encased in honey.
Also Honey Nut Cheerios will never be same because a child got stuck in honey :(
Well, it depends on whether you've got your own hives or not. We have four hives that produce more than enough honey for us to be encased and mummified. :P
you inspired me ti become a mortician on monday i started my first day as a nurse after ive completed that ill go to mortuary school! before you i didnt know what to do with my life as everything kinda sucks but death is interesting and i could work in death my whole life!
Désirée Yazal Congratulations!!! 🎊
www.orderofthegooddeath.com/cant-encourage-become-mortician
Congratulations!
Awesome!! I'm also thinking of pursuing a career because of Caitlin
Awesome! Congratulations, I’m sure you’ll be amazing ❤️
I started watching her months ago, and then for some reason youtube started recommending less and less of her videos.
Just found her again.
AND BOY AM I GLAD.
I will never look at the honey the same way...that child's face omg :O
Gives "honey child" a whole new meaning doesn't it...
I was at your Springfield MO event but it was much too crowded so I did not get to say "HI" so "HI" I have been saying for years that we have given away part of our life cycle by passing over our dead to the funeral home business so I'm glad to see so many turning back to more hands on with our dead. You do such a wonderful job of handling the crowds and answering the questions, keep up the good work.. BTW, love the vaudeville bits!
this is like Lemon Demon's song "Sweet Bod" ! thank you! your videos always give me goosebumps !!
Another fan🍋
The song was inspired by the legend
Just found your videos, very enjoyable. I am a commercial beekeeper and the bees add an anti microbiota property to the honey. This is why honey never goes badd as long as it's kept under 18% humidity . Adding water will either make vinegar or Mead depending on the pollen in the air still not a badge thing.
yummy honey mummy I got death in my tummy
I will never hear that song the same way again 🙁😂
So glad you did a video on this! I read some on this in Mary Roach's book "Stiff" and it peaked my morbid curiosity on the subject.
There’s a Lemon Demon song about this called “Sweet Bod”. It’s really good
Caitlin, I found Smoke Gets in Your Eyes at the library branch I work at and just put your second book hold. Your new one has been ordered for our catalog too!!
Honey? Oh honey, talking about ancient corpses honey? That's my Friday night honey. OOHHHH HHHHOOONNNEEEEYYYYY.
*Insert thworp here*
I see you are a person of culture as well!
Trixie! ❤️❤️❤️
What song?
Your videos never fail to tickle, inspire and amaze, Caitlyn ! What is even funnier is I knew most of the information you shared with us, but I don't recall where I first read it !
Sweet Bod from the album Spirit Phone played in my head right when i saw the title
First off, I want to say I love your videos and already subscribed to your channel, Ask a Mortician. I also want to say that you got a big thumbs up from my husband, who is a Historian, because you’re historically accurate. To be clear, that’s like winning a medal from my husband. He picks apart every little historical inaccuracy, just like I do medically. We would spoil half the movies and TV shows together.
As a Registered Nurse working in a prison (and no, not AS an inmate to be clear), I suggested the use of honey dressings to the Nurse Practitioner there with evidenced base practice that it works. We had some ulcers on people that were not healing after we tried everything. Considering that honey treatment is cheaper, it was a “well, why not!” and surprise, it worked! If you look on Amazon, they have honey dressings packaged just like gauze pads so it’s less sticky for the nurse to apply. I’ve heard some nursing homes use honey dressings as well.
I credit Doctors working in third world nations seen on the Figure 1 app, where I first saw the magic of honey dressings.
I was so excited to see that you did this! I actually read about this practice in my AP English class from the book Stiff by Mary Roach. And my fascination with the topics of her book led me to your channel! It would seem it’s came full circle!
You got to read Stiff in AP English?!
@@AskAMortician I know! Well jealous!
Yes! We used the book as tool to talk about human ethics and the way a speaker presents evidence and conveys the message of their writing! As well as to influence our real world thinking!
Love this video. My son, who is severely disabled, caused himself an intense skin abrasion in between the fold of his were he bends his leg by trying to get a bandage placed on him from the docotors office. Taking him to a doctor who specializes in skin care from injuries, honey was prescribed to heal his injury. It worked. Took almost 6 months due the severity, but it actually worked. Thought I'd share that with you. As usual, thanks for another awesome video. This is by far, my favorite youtube channel.
So essentially you make candied corpses.. I know my Halloween costume next year
I got both of your books for Christmas but due to me currently reading about 8 books already I wanted to wait until I finished a few, so I just started Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and I’m on the 4th chapter now and I’m absolutely in love with it, when I read it I can just hear your voice in my head, it’s written brilliantly and it’s super interesting and there’s never a dull moment and I love the mix of your stories and history facts and I just love it and you’ve inspired me to possibly become a mortician, and thank you for all that you do for us deathlings
I honestly could listen to your voice 24/7 it's just that smooth
Honey children, as if children in horror movies didn't terrify me enough. XD
I've joined the deathlings not long ago, but I caught up atching all your videos from the beginning and I must say, I really love what you do! Thank you so much for the death positive views and for the humour! Many thanks to you and your team for these videos!
really loved the robe vibes from the last product promo...death mama always delivers 👏👏👏😍😍😍
Love your videos. Lost my son in September and your videos have helped me so much
Oh honey child!!
Beat me to it! dang
I've read your books, but so glad you have a channel. You're funny & informative & don't take death so seriously. I hope you're saved.
There's a song about this! It's called "Sweet Bod" by Lemon Demon :)
Hi Caitlin! You should do a video about mourning hair jewelry. I just learned about it and it's so interesting!
Love being a deathling ❤️
Last night I ordered your two books, and Judy's Working Stiff book.. I can't wait to read them!! 💜
Shoot, I love honey. If I wanted to be mummified, I'd go this route! Mix in a few spices with that golden amber deliciousness. Perfect!
Buuuuuut I think I still want to be cremated or have a natural burial.
Ma'am I just discovered your channel.. I can't get enough, your content is both thoughtful and entertaining. I enjoy tour insightful comments. Keep it up... Mike D from Indiana
Caitlin will you talk about Cheng and Eng Bunker and their death!
That is a fascinating story!
What an excellence idea for a video. 👍
I wanted to to thank you for your content. Straight up I'm a severely depressed person and there isnt much that can brighten up my day like coming across one of your videos. I scroll down and there she is in the middle of two honey bears. I think I might of even chuckeled aloud God I dont know but thank you for being the light in my day.
I mean I was planning on having my ashes pressed into a diamond inlaid in a nice ring but being candied for the good of mankind is also an option I suppose.
I ordered your books last night got two day shipping. I can not wait to read them!! I've never been more excited to read a book. 😁
Are there any plans for a new book at some point? I’d love another from you Caitlin! I just finished re reading smoke gets In your eyes, I’m about to re read From here to eternity too. They’re excellent.
Kate H The audiobook versions are great, too. Caitlin narrates them, herself.
Just bought “from here to eternity” on audible and I was SO happy to hear you narrating. YAS GIRL
Well if Def Leppard sing the song 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', why can't you just 'Pour Some Honey On You' too ?!? Makes perfect sense to me 🍯🍯
I have heard everything now. Thanks Caitlin. :)
This is what the Lemon Demon (Neil Ciceriga) song "Sweet Bod" is about. Its a dope song on a sweet subject!
Thank you for another entertaining, yet informative video! Thanks to watching your channel I've become much more open to discussions about death, and have been encouraging family members to think about what they would like done with their bodies after death and either getting their wishes added to their wills, or to let several family members know their wishes so they can be carried out. Thank you for helping at least one family have positive, healthy conversations about death.
"Why must we always eat the corpse honey?"
That is a question for the ages.
Along with how to make mummy honey money
That screen cap is amazing! Very Devo.
"this video is sponsored by honey'
Thanks for making this great video, Caitlin! I know that mel is the latin word for honey, so obviously there's not likely to be an Irish association to mellification. However, as a nerdy student of the Irish language, I can't resist pointing out that the Irish word for honey is MIL, which lends it's name to the word for sweet, MILIS, and which can be found in many place names and expressions (such as the town of Clonmel, which in Irish is called: CLUAIN MEALA, which means "honey meadow" -isn't that great? Also, Oliver Cromwell's murdering army of racist religious fanatics received the worst beat-down of its whole time in Ireland at the battle of Clonmel, thus seriously slowing his psychotic rampage, but now I am way off course!) Anyway, I just get a kick out of the way the MELLIFIED MAN, in Irish, is like "the sweetened man..." and then I think of all the bog bodies (My ancestors were good at mummifying people, come to think of it... and that's all. Most incoherent RUclips comment I've ever made. Apologies.
"Bob-kleva" 😎 definitely putting "cleanse my body with herbs and honey" in my death plan.
Enjoy your videos Caitlin. Funny and educational
When I grow up, I want to be like you!
Thanks for the idea! Certainly will be adding it to my last will list.
"Man cannot live on honey alone"
Watch me
Thank you for the consistency and the quality of your videos. You really are as entertaining as you are informative.
I'm gonna mummify myself with peanut butter, poo on honey.
Smooth or Crunchy?
@@mugginsthejinx1037 Smooth.....like my style ;)
I don't think I will look at honey the same way again LOL. Love your videos and I have downloaded your books that I'm looking forward to reading. Lot's of love from Nancy in Scotland x

Thank You Caitlin for the video!!! You are so much fun :-)
hey have you ever heard the song sweet bod by lemon demon?
it's how i was first introduced to this concept :-)
Girl has anyone told you that you have an AMAZING smile recently? Because boy oh boy my cold heart melted when I saw you chuckle after you poured the honey on your hand.
Is this available in your online gift shop? Asking for a friend.
I just wanted to thank you. I've been watching your videos a lot. Then my sweet dog who I've had for 13 years died. I think your death positive attitude has helped me a lot. I think I felt more comfortable staying by her body and saying a long goodbye, and being affectionate because of your videos. You encouragement to interact with our beloved dead helped me. Thank you so much. Maybe you could do a video about death rituals for pets? Have a lovely Day of the Dead.
Years and years and years ago, I read a book "The Dervish House". (Spoiler Altert!) It featured a mellified man subplot. So today when I was scrolling merrily along and chanced upon this video I nearly squeed myself.
Interesting thought, don't think I'd go for it personally but to each their own. I always enjoy your videos.
It's always about the money ... eh .. honey
