"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

I dunno, is the wax green perhaps or is it green once extracted? Only way it can be green honey is if it is contaminated with something. Plaintain has green pollen at certain stages but I dont think any plant we have here would make green honey.

I have seen plants in Vic that have purple pollen that may turn the honey green.. ie the mixing of blue (blue and red) and golden (yellow and red)
But the truth is I have no clue

YV,
Are you any closer in figuring out why your honey is green? This is intriguing!

We have a green-tinged honey here in Florida from the Brazilian pepper.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Hi, nah, haven't figured it out yet. I'll know when I ask the other beekeepers in the area. If not someone will know at the meeting in a couple of weeks. I like the idea of Irish honey though  . Chao, James. |
