I found a reference to it here (they call it "wasp wine"):

http://www.nationalgeographic.com.sg/actionasia.shtml

When I lived in Taiwan, a friend of mine once told me bottles of bee wine 
could be found in Wulai, a tourist town in the mountains south of Taipei. I 
decided to take a look myself, and sure enough - many of the restaurants there 
sell bottles of it.

Snake wine (a rice-based spirit with one or more dead snakes in the bottle - 
they were presumably living when inserted in the bottle) is a common sight in 
China and Taiwan.

How do I pour? What is 'cl', 'oz' and 'pt'? How should I handle glassware?.
