Honey

Honey, sweet, thick, supersaturated sugar solution manufactured by bees to feed their larvae and for subsistence in winter. The nectar of flowers is ingested by worker internal linkbees and converted to honey in sacs in their esophagi. It is stored and aged in combs in their hives. Bee honey is an important constituent of the diet of many animals, and is put to many uses by humans. Bee honey is composed of fructose, glucose, and internal linkwater, in varying proportions; it also contains several enzymes and oils. The color and flavor depend on the age of the honey and on the source of the nectar. Light-colored honeys are usually of higher quality than darker honeys. Honey to be marketed is usually heated and poured into sealed containers to prevent crystallization.

Kissing

Kisses honeyed by oblivion.
George Eliot (1819-80), English novelist. The Spanish internal linkGypsy, bk. 3 (1868).

Knowledge

Slander

If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.
A. N. Wilson (b. 1950), British author. Quoted in: Independent on Sunday (London, 13 Sept. 1992).

Contemplation

I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life. . . . They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It's wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.
Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913), U.S. author. Accident on Route 37, "Elizabeth Jowett" (1964).

Scientists seek help from honey

RESEARCHERS have genetically altered plants so that bees produce foreign proteins in their nectar. They hope that the bees will create honey containing a variety of drugs or vaccines.

The honey could be fed to patients, or drugs could be extracted from it, according to New Scientist magazine.

"It's a production system that would require very little purification," said Dr Tineke Creemers, of the Centre for Plant Breeding and Reproduction Research, Wageningen, Holland.
