[Sca-cooks] Secret Life of... next appearance

[Stefan li Rous]

I just got through watching the "Secret Life of honey" episode.

Among other things they show the industrial creation of mead and go 
into honey varieties. I bought a wide variety of honeys at Castlemark's 
going-out-of-business sale at Pennsic. I think Castlemark might have 
had a wider variety of honeys than the store which the show 
highlighted.

They also mentioned in one of their text-only snippets just before a 
commercial the comment that the bees native to America do not make 
honey. We had a discussion earlier where I mentioned that the (honey) 
bee was a European import and someone corrected me saying there were 
native American bees. So it this TV comment is  true then we may both 
be right. If the American bee doesn't make honey though, I'm wondering 
what it uses for food or whatever the European bees use honey for.
