Honey Production Unit, Kadesh Barnea

Afterall the promised land is also 'the land of milk and honey', why not taste the Israeli honey? We got an offer to do so by tasting honey collected from bees that fed on three different plant species viz. rosemarin, acacia and eucalyptus. Each tasted differently, but the best was the one from eucalyptus. The care taker of the unit described the basics of bee rearing, honey production and the uses of different bee-products. As expected the talk was in Hebrew so I kept looking for someone to translate and managed to grab the essence. Finally, every one of us bought a bottle of euclayptus-based honey and said good bye to Kadesh Barnea.....
