In preparation for a bee farm fieldtrip (mom and Gary, you will be surprised I even entertained the thought!), a woman at co-op who keeps bees allowed us to have some chunks of honeycomb. We examined it first, marvelling at the fact that bees can make such perfect little hexagons-no rulers or anything! :)
We then cut off small pieces and chewed on them, letting the honey gush out into our mouths. Matthew didn't like the honeycomb, but loved the honey. Both Stephen and Timothy swallowed the whole kit and caboodle after munching on it for awhile. Rachel got a few licks of straight honey. It felt to me like chewing on those wax lips, so I sympathized with Matthew! The honey was tasty, though...
