God's Good Gifts - Honey

My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Proverbs 24:13 (ESV)

Honey or honeycomb occurs in the Bible 61 times! The majority of these verses are descriptions of the promised land, flowing with milk & honey, indicating God's abundant provision.

Like coffee & tea, I wonder who was the first person to decide to brave stinging insects and taste the gooey stuff in their nest and discover that it tasted good? Somewhere back in the dawn of time, God guided our ancestors to discover honey and all it's beneficial properties - culinary, medicinal and cosmetic. Google honey and be amazed at its history and properties!
