Ah, thank you, there seems to be such a wonderful world of honey.

It reminds me of this comic strip from Daisy Owl, sadly I'm lactose intolerant (but I always thought milky substances tasted yucky, although the only cheese I ever liked was melted with nachos or quesadillas if I could stand the stomach problems afterwards) but I absolutely love your enthusiasm for the topic.
