Honey, Honey Honey

Honey! Just thinking about it makes me all warm inside... is there anything tastier, anything more complex and pure than honey? In my humble opinion, no. There is just something vital about honey; is there any wonder why Paradise was described as a land flowing with milk and honey?
My obsession with this liquid gold sent me searching for all different kinds of books on the subject, from cookbooks to history to general science. I really enjoyed Sweetness and Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee by Hattie Ellis. She writes about the history of man's intrigue of honey, from the Stone Age (cave drawings were found that resembles bees and hives), to the Roman Empire (where honey was used as money and was as valuable as gold), to modern-day bee-keepers and the world's continuing honey-lust.
