Coconut Honey

One can buy imported honey here, it usually comes from USA and it's expensive, of course.  However, other honey can also be bought, in Max's vegetable and grocery store (Max always manages to find pretty young girls to serve in his store, I don't know how he does it; his wife works there, and she's beautiful, too.)  This honey comes in bottles recycled from their original Rum contents, is about one third the price of the imported product, is very sweet and thick and has a woody flavour, quite unlike the usual clover or heather flavours.  Much of it - perhaps all of it - is from wild bees, harvested by intrepid local men willing to climb into the heights of the forest trees here and rob the bees up there.  I have seen and heard these bees, but certainly wouldn't dare to try to take their honey!  As there are many thousands of coconut palms around here, the honey is sure to come largely from them.
