honey dipper

Grooved nectar wand

A honey dipper is a wooden utensil with a grooved, bulbous head used to drizzle honey—the grooves hold the honey as you twirl it, releasing a controlled stream.

The term also refers, often euphemistically, to someone who empties septic tanks or outhouses: The honey dipper came by to pump the tank.
