Honey is one food that gets mentioned a number of times in the Bible. Even from the very early times in the Old Testament. Honey tastes good and beneficial for health.

It is not exactly something that is easily picked up. Unless if we want to get stung by the bees. Beekeeping requires skill and experience.

I am curious how it is done in the ancient times. And who first discovered that we can eat it? Did they see an animal foraging on honey and thought they wanted to try it too? I mean, bees do not look exactly appetising-looking.

Did God tell Adam that he could eat it and protected Adam from the stings? I have no clue.
