i eat it almost constantly. why does it always say you shouldn't feed it to children under one year of age? and what do you vegans think of it?

It's got botulism toxins in it by nature. This can kill infants. Haven't you ever watched ER?

― matthew m., Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

also it depends what the bees have just ate: if poison, look out!!

― mark s, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I too eat tons of honey. I didn't used to, but I've been on a huge tea kick lately (St. John's Wort and Green Tea). I like honey.

― Dan Irons, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

together on honey, apart on lewis, how tragic!

There was a burger joint in the town next to where I grew up called Mr. Bee's. They had "Bee Burgers." My Dad liked it, but when he took a little Tad there I got sick after eating a Bee Burger. We never took me back there.

Q: What kind of bees make milk?

IANA vegan, but it is made by animals and therefore surely nonvegan. At the very least, it's a damn sight less vegan than bloody yeast.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

nope honey is not vegan. but um, yeast is!

― katie, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

milk is for baby cows NOT YOU; honey is for baby bees NOT YOU

ps i think this is a mentalist argt

pps my gutZoRs are so entirely full of honey that baby bees regularly nest there, so no colonics for me

Sinker in Candy man shocker!

― chris, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Have we had a colonic irrigation thread yet? I don't really like honey (lowercase) but then I don't really like any food that's sticky. I am a very messy person and am guarenteed to get it in my hair and eyebrows and face and clothes. I don't like that.

― alix, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes we have had a colonic irrigation thred hehehehh! oh markS, the "baby cow" argument i think is quite a sensible one for not drinking milk. i, however, am a proven mentalist so perhaps what you say is true...

― katie, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what's all this about a bee/honey shortage?

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Big bee disease veroa (nice word; evokes both veruca and apnoea) wiped out huge population of bees in Europe. Dunno what the effects on honey have been (I don't like honey, ew). If you are a bee fan you can encourage the red mason bee to yr garden/yard/window box with a nest box.

― Ellie, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

veroa is a mite. The best way to get rid of it is to blow tobacco smoke into the beehive. Never heard of the red mason bee. Leafcutter bees are kewl tho.

― MarkH, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

. A nice scientist from the Oxford University Bee Systematics and Biology Unit was talking about it on some R4 science programme last year. They're trying to encourage them to keep up pollination levels in light of veroa (oops re: disease/mite confusion).

― Ellie, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

honey to the bee thats you for me.

red mason bees = myrmidons of the new world order

i like honey on my biscuits.

whenever I see a jar of honey with "Produce of more than one country" on it I always think, "Those bees must be knackered!"

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 10 October 2002 08:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I just bought a big pot of honey today, because I am sick of eating so much sugar and I'm trying to cut down on refined sugar. I like honey because it tastes of honey, rather than just tasting tastelessly sweet, like white sugar does, so you actually need less of it to put on your cereal or in your tea.

Please convince me that there is some sort of health benefits from eating honey as opposed to sugar, and I'm not just being a wibbling hippie... please?

"My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honey-comb, which is weet to thy taste."--Proverbs 24:13.

Both the holy Qur'an and Hadith refer to honey as a healer of disease.

"And thy Lord taught the bee to build its cells in hills, on trees and in (men's) habitations..... there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for mankind. Verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought."
(Translation of Quran 16:68-69)

In addition, the Prophet (PBUH) said:

"Honey is a remedy for every illness and the Qur'an is a remedy for all illness of the mind, therefore I recommend to you both remedies, the Qur'an and honey."
(Bukhari)

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 11 January 2003 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, yeah, that reminds me. HOney is a good natural antiseptic. But I didn't read it in the Bible or the Koran, I saw it on a history reenactment program (not Time Team, some royal diseases one) which I find far more reliable than either of those other sources. Why yes, I'm going to make myself another cup of tea with honey right now!

― kate, Saturday, 11 January 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

According to some history-of-the-Empire thing I sawa ages ago, the British Empire was partly successful because everyone in it drank tea, which is also antiseptic and with loads of antioxidants in it; therefore the British colonial oppressors didn't get as ill as much as other nationalities.

Ergo, tea with honey = immortality!

― caitlin (caitlin), Saturday, 11 January 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

But what does that say about the Indian, Chinese and Japanese empires? Then again, I supposed they were all tea drinkers and had massive fuckoff empires, so they might have a point. Hrrmmmmm... And I'm not just drinking TEA with HONEY, but it's from a pyramid-shaped teabag in order to give me ORGONE ENERGY, so I shall live forever and be worshiped as a DEITY, which, well, so long as I don't have to dance topless during Hawkwind sets, is pretty darn cool.
