Quid dulcius melle?                    
 ("What is sweeter than honey?")
Judges 14:18

The pedigree of honey
     Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
     Is aristocracy.
Emily Dickinson

Comede fili mi mel quia bonum est
("Eat honey, my son, for it is good.")
Proverbs 24:13

How doth the little busy bee
     Improve each shining hour
And gather honey all the day
     From every opening flower.
Isaac Watts, Against Idleness and Mischief

Favus mellis verba conposita dulcedo animae et sanitas ossuum
("Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, 
    sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.")
Proverbs 16:24

Sic vos non vobis mellificatis apes.
("Thus do you, bees, not for yourselves make honey")
Virgil

et convertit manum suam ad os suum et inluminati sunt oculi eius
("When he ate it, his eyes gleamed.")
1 Samuel 14:27

The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

et de petra, melle saturavit illos
("And He filled them with honey out of the rock")

God made the bees, but he won't bottle the honey.
