【苦蜜】
产地在州县。刘基《苦斋记》记载：匡山山顶，四周是陡峭的岩壁，风从北方吹来，大多味道不甜而善于发苦，所以植物中本性苦的，没有不聚集生长在这里的。野蜂巢居其中，采集花蕊制作蜂蜜，味道也是苦的，山中的方言称之为“黄杜”，刚开始吃觉得很难受，时间久了反而更加觉得甘甜。按：《本草纲目》提到有黄连蜜，味道苦，但不知道还有天然形成的苦蜜，因此补充这一条。能清除积热，止住烦渴，解除热痢和暑湿积滞，驱除风邪，作为丸药的辅料使用，效果更好。老年人肠道干燥，用一盏（量词）苦蜜兑酒服用，尤其适宜。
【蜜虎】
形状像蜂但体型较大，头部尖细身体圆润，形状像橄榄；有两片翅膀，也像蜜蜂的翅膀；全身长满毛，花色斑纹；尾巴有短毛，展开像鹅尾；鼻子上有两根须，喜欢进入花心，用须钩取花蕊出来，它的须能伸缩弯曲，像大象鼻子一样卷取物体，登州人叫它“古路哥子”，安徽人叫它“蜜虎”，养蜂的人最忌讳它。《台湾府志》记载：蜂虎虫属于此类，形状像灯蛾但更大，头上有斑点，进入蜜蜂巢穴就会吃光所有的蜜蜂。汪杭苇说：蜜虎多喜欢进入凤仙花丛中，在叶子背面产卵，日子久了生出小灰色虫子，像青色的菜青虫，身上有黑白斑晕，吃花叶长大；等到老了就下到根部，变成蛹，头粗尾尖像海蛳的样子，呈老黄色；久了蛹孵化出蛾，就成为蜜虎；这样循环往复，生生不息。
治疗咽喉肿痛生蛾（喉痹/乳蛾）
陈良翰说：蜜虎在登州最多，人们捕捉后装入布袋，悬挂在屋檐下阴干，遇到咽喉肿痛或生单蛾、双蛾的情况，取一枚放在瓦片上火焙以去除周身绒毛，剪去头、足、尾、翅，再用火焙成粉末，加入少许冰片，吹入喉中即可痊愈，这是神方。又可用于壮药（指功效猛烈之药）。
治疗心痛
鞠子静的方子：用“噜哥”（即蜜虎），五六月间在墙壁上飞行，山东很多，捕捉后放入竹筒中，这种虫子很难死，必须等二十天，才能在筒中干死，自己还能扑打，身上的绒毛全部脱落，患有心痛及腹痛的人，用瓦片焙干研末，用酒送服一二枚即可停止疼痛。诸城王逊亭说：古路哥有雌雄之分，雄的体型瘦小，雌的腹部大，入药用雄的，用线穿起来阴干，可以配合房中术药物使用。他的老仆人王三说：这种虫子山东极多，能吃蜜蜂，养蜂家最忌讳它。这种虫口中有黑丝，经常卷曲，如果进入蜂窝，就吐出直丝来刺蜜蜂，蜜蜂立即死亡，然后吃掉它。大概蜜蜂的针在尾部，而这种虫的针在头部，想来也是有剧毒的。针在尾部属阴，在头部属阳，以阳克阴，所以蜜蜂被刺后无不立即死亡。这种虫子在初秋产卵，在豆荚中就是豆虫，像青色菜青虫的样子，吃豆子；在黍秆上就是朝天猴，像刺蝥的样子，从下往上吃黍叶，是庄田最大的祸患。然而可以吃，庄户人在太阳未出时，这种虫子沾露水体重重翅膀轻不能飞，容易捕捉。人捕捉后，去掉翅膀，成群放在瓦罐内，让它们互相扑打，身上的细毛自然脱落，然后用油、盐、椒、姜炒食，味道胜过蚕蛹。只是它身上的毛不可沾到人的眼睛，沾到眼睛就会损伤视力。
[Ku Mi (Bitter Honey)]
Origin: Prefectures and counties. Liu Ji's *Record of the Bitter Study* states: At the peak of Kuang Mountain, steep cliffs surround on all sides. The wind blows from the north, generally lacking sweetness and possessing a bitter nature. Therefore, plants with an inherently bitter nature gather and grow densely there. Wild bees nest among them, collecting flower nectar to make honey, which is also bitter. In the local dialect of the mountains, it is called "Huang Du" (Yellow Du). Initially, the taste is quite difficult to endure, but after a long time, one finds it increasingly sweet. Note: *Bencao Gangmu* mentions "Huanglian Honey" (Coptis Honey), which is bitter, but does not mention naturally occurring bitter honey; thus, this entry supplements that omission. It clears accumulated heat, relieves thirst and irritability, resolves hot dysentery and summerheat accumulation, dispels wind, and is particularly effective when used as an excipient in pill preparations. For elderly people with dry intestines, mixing one cup with wine for consumption is especially suitable.
[Mi Hu (Honey Tiger)]
Resembles a bee but is larger; the head is pointed and the body round, shaped like an olive; it has two wings, similar to those of a bee; the entire body is covered in hair with floral patterns; the tail has short hairs that spread out like a goose's tail; there are two antennae on the nose. It likes to enter the center of flowers, using its antennae to hook out the stamens. Its antennae can extend, retract, and curl, resembling an elephant's trunk for grasping objects. People in Dengzhou call it "Gulu Gezi," while people in Anhui call it "Mi Hu" (Honey Tiger); beekeepers detest it most. *Records of Taiwan Prefecture* states: The Mi Hu insect belongs to this category, resembling a giant moth but larger, with spots on its head. When entering a honeybee hive, it consumes all the bees. Wang Hangwei said: Mi Huis often prefer to enter clusters of Impatiens balsamina flowers, laying eggs on the undersides of leaves. After many days, small gray larvae hatch, resembling green caterpillars (*Qinghuo*), with black and white mottled patterns on their bodies, feeding on flowers and leaves until they mature. Upon maturity, they descend to the roots and become pupae, with thick heads and pointed tails resembling sea snails, appearing old yellow. Eventually, the moths emerge from the pupae, becoming Mi Huis; this cycle repeats endlessly.
Treatment for Sore Throat, Swelling, and Erythema (Throat Bi / Ru E)
Chen Lianghan stated: Mi Huis are most abundant in Dengzhou. People capture them, place them in cloth bags, and hang them under eaves to dry in the shade. When encountering sore throat, swelling, or single/double erythema (tonsillitis), take one specimen, roast it on a tile over fire to remove all body hairs, cut off the head, feet, tail, and wings, then roast again into powder. Add a small amount of Borax (Bingpian), blow it into the throat, and it will heal immediately. This is a miraculous prescription. It is also used in potent medicines.
Treatment for Heart Pain
Prescription by Ju Zijing: Use "Lu Ge" (i.e., Mi Hu). From May to June, they fly on walls and are abundant in Shandong. Capture them and place them in a bamboo tube. This insect is difficult to kill; wait twenty days until it dies dry in the tube, though it may still twitch. All body hairs will fall off. For patients suffering from heart pain or abdominal pain, roast on a tile, grind into powder, and take one or two specimens with wine to stop the pain. Wang Xunting from Zhucheng said: Gulu Gezi has male and female distinctions. Males are slender and small; females have large abdomens. Use males for medicinal purposes. String them together and dry in the shade; they can be combined with aphrodisiac formulas. His old servant Wang San said: This insect is extremely common in Shandong and eats bees, making it abhorrent to beekeepers. This insect has black silk in its mouth, usually curled. If it enters a honeycomb, it uncurls the silk to stab bees, killing them instantly before eating them. Bees have stingers at their tails, whereas this insect has a stinger at its head, implying it is also toxic. Stingers at the tail are Yin, while those at the head are Yang. Using Yang to overcome Yin explains why bees die immediately upon being stung. This insect lays eggs in early autumn. In bean pods, it becomes a "Bean Worm" (*Dou Chong*), resembling a green caterpillar, eating beans; on sorghum stalks, it becomes a "Sky-Facing Monkey" (*Chaotian Hou*), resembling a blister beetle (*Ci Mao*), eating sorghum leaves from bottom to top, causing significant damage to crops. However, it is edible. Farmers catch them before sunrise when dew makes them heavy and wings light, preventing flight. After capturing, remove wings, place them in groups in clay jars, allowing them to fight each other until fine hairs fall off. Then stir-fry with oil, salt, pepper, and ginger. The taste surpasses silkworm pupae. However, the hairs must not touch human eyes, as contact causes eye damage.
