Yeah, growing up Canadian will do that - we're just as bad as the British. The one thing I lament about living down here is that Maple trees don't grow here, so I have to try get people to bring Maple Syrup through customs in Bogota whenever they come to visit. Which is hilarious, because in Bogota, customs always steals at least one bottle of it.

All kidding aside, I grow honey primarily for its use in wound dressings and other traditional medical applications. Maybe 2lb of the 10 or so the hive produces each year actually gets eaten - the rest gets steeped with herbs and gacked on people when they cut themselves, because it's an excellent antibiotic and antimicrobial salve.
