Yingwati is the Tiwi word for sugarbag or wild honey. This is a Tiwi delicacy, produced by the Tree Sugarbag Bee. This is collected during Kumunupunari, the dry season. Indigenous Australians have been harvesting food from the bush for thousands of years, & sugarbag honey from native Australian bees is a popular form of bush tucker.
