* Honey can be found in the wild, such as in the hollow of a tree, or wherever 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.

* Three people that the Bible specifically mentions as eating wild honey were Jonathan, Samson, and John the Baptist.

* This term is often used figuratively to describe something that is sweet or very pleasurable. For example, God's words and decrees are said to be "sweeter than honey." (See also: [Simile](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile), [Metaphor](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor))

* Sometimes a person's words are described as seeming sweet like honey, but instead result in deceiving and harming others.
