The Hebrew word for honey comes from the same root as its word for "word": as in, "In the beginning ... ". Honey represented this divine truth because it did not deteriorate or cede its perfection to nature, because humans could not improve on it, and – until "reed honey", aka sugar, came along – it had no substitute. Bees supposedly settled on the lips of Plato, Pindar and St Ambrose when they were babies, endowing them with holy revelation and with truth.
