They ate honeycomb, which is very different from the refined honey you’d find in a grocery store. Comb has large amounts of protein from pollen and bee larvae.

You actually don’t eat bee larvae when you’re eating honeycomb. bees separate out their hives so certain sections have honey, certain sections have larvae, etc. Gathering and eating honeycomb mostly consists of selecting the primarily honey sections of comb. The comb itself has very little to no nutritional value, not even fiber.
