chained_bear commented on the word Age of Honey
"... we could just as well speak of the first several thousand years of human history as the Age of Honey.
"A rock drawing in Spain from about 7000 B.C. shows a man who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive, and is reaching in to grab the honey. ... (People in the Americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.) Then someone figured out that you didn't have to be lucky. You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. You could 'keep' bees--you didn't have to find them.
"In the Age of Honey, people tasted the neighborhood where they lived."
