A to Z Challenge: Mellivorous

This month brings the A to Z Challenge, which I choose to meet with a series of words that thus far may have escaped your attention, sometimes deservedly so. Today's word is

Eastern Spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris),
Female on Common Heath (
Epacris impressa),
Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, Tasmania, Australia

Mellivorous
This means honey-eating, such as bears, honey badgers, and hummingbirds.

It's been a long time since I heard that word. :)

And no doubt a long time before you'll hear it again!
