honey, honeycomb

Definition

Honey is the sweet, sticky, edible substance that honeybees make out of flower nectar. Honeycomb is the waxy frame where the bees store honey.

Depending on the variety, honey can be yellowish or brownish in color.
Honey is sometimes used figuratively to represent something that is sweet or very pleasurable. Something is said to be honey or is described as being sweet "like honey." (See also: en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs_simile, en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs_metaphor)
Honey can be found in the wild, such as in the hollow of a tree, or wherever the bees make a nest. People also raise bees in hives in order to produce honey to eat or sell, but probably the honey mentioned in the Bible was wild honey.
