prettygoodwordmeliphagous (mel-i-FAY-guhs) - adj., eating or subsisting on honey.
Pooh. Also, birds of the genus Meliphaga and the larvae of bees (which is, after all, why they make the stuff). Less common than its more modern synonym melivorous. Coined from Greek roots that you can surely guess. Also, Pooh.
