Ah honey. It's sweet, sticky, nutritionally dense on a staple food of modern western and indigenous hunter gatherer cuisine alike.

It's one of the most energy dense foods found in nature. And probiotic enzyme packed blood sugar stabilizing sweetener.

There was one article I was reading that described how the hazda raw game eating persistence hunting warrior tribe will not only forsake an animal hunt if they stumble across a beehive full of honey.

And opts to harvest the precious honey instead. But when wanting to find honey, they shout and whistle a special tune.

If a honey guide bird is around, it'll fly into camp chattering and fanny out its feathers. The hazda then on the hunt chase it, grabbing their axes and torses and shouting, wait.

They follow the honey guide until it lands near its payload spot. Pinpoint the correct tree, smoke out the bees, hack it open, and free the sweet combs from the nest.

The honey guide stays and watches. Well, even enthusiastic knows the tale, purely meat eating disciples of the trendy carnivore diet have largely adopted honey as an acceptable animal food based addition to their relatively strict nutritional resumin.

So what's not to love?

The problem with honey. Well recently I was reading the book Happiness by Randy Alcorn. When speaking of honey, Randy says, consider this fatherly advice given in an ancient culture without refined sugar.

In which nature's greatest treat was honey. My son eat honey because there's good in the honeycomb which is sweet to your taste.

The father doesn't want his son to stay away from honey because he might love honey more than God. If we're thinking biblically, we realize that God created bees to make honey not only for them but for us.

He designed our taste buds to enjoy the sweetness of honey. It's a gift to the people he loves.

To enjoy that gift is to enjoy the God who gives it to us. Could someone turn honey into a God? Of course. The proverb born if you find honey eat just enough.

Not too much of it and you will vomit. It's Proverbs 25-16.

A not honey makes us happy. Too much honey makes us sick. The father's advice to his son requires no explanation as to how it relates to God because that was self-evident to the original audience.

The Hebrew worldviews out creation is the expression of the creator's mind and heart.

Therefore to be happy with honey was to be happy with God's abundant gifts and people's happiness with God's abundant gifts they knew made God happy too.

So naturally after reading that part of Randy's book I was thinking a lot about honey.

And before I address the potential problem with honey, I'll first start here. God loves honey. He loves the stuff. Sticky sugary, syrupy and thickened creamy all at the same time.
