"Which is to say Marchese's palate is so finely tuned
that she can literally taste the beekeeper's fear in a
smear of honey."
"Marchese has given us a lovely gift. Honeybee is an entertaining and useful primer for the novice and honeybee devotee alike." -- Washington Times
They say that honey last forever but in fact it does not improve with age like a fine wine, its color will grow darker and its flavors will fade.
Honey is best consumed young, in season and straight off the comb if you are fortunate to taste this venerable delicacy.
