“Honey that won't be returned is borrowed by an official/leader.”

Meaning

This proverb suggests that when an official or powerful person "borrows" something (especially something valuable like honey), it's often with the understanding that it will not be returned, or it will be very difficult to get it back. It points to corruption, the abuse of power, or the exploitation of common people by those in authority.
