Silver Honey
"The more painful the sting, the sweeter the honey."Silver Honey is a unique honey made by the rare Moon Bees and kept in tight honeycombs inside of their well guarded hives. It appears similar to other honeys except for its remarkable silvery color that seems to shine in daylight and almost glow in the moonlight.
Properties
Material Characteristics
Silver Honey is a translucent, silvery liquid that is very thick and viscous and has a very smooth texture.
Physical & Chemical Properties
Aside from having a sweet taste, it is also believed that this honey is partly derived from elemental silver and as such has several healing properties to it.
Geology & Geography
Silver Honey is found throughout the world wherever Moon Bees are living. All continents are believed to have them, particularly in the temperate climates.
Origin & Source
Silver Honey is produced by Moon Bees who collect nectar and feed almost exclusively on the Moonflower. This flower is necessary for the bees to produce this particular type of honey. Studies by Eldri Ennis Ento, the gnome expert on insects, suggest that the silver taken in by the flower is processed and transferred to the bee who in turn changes it and passes it along in some form into the honey. This may explain some of the unusual health properties of the honey.
History & Usage
Everyday use
Silver Honey has many practical uses in cooking, food preparation, and flavoring, in addition to being eaten raw or as a topping for other foods. Many drinks add the honey to them for sweeteners and fermenting the honey can even produce Moon Mead.
Since ancient times many people have used the honey as salves and on dressings due to its antibacterial healing properties. Seasonal allergies are eliminated after drinking hot teas made with this honey and even some diseases and sickness seem to be cured quickly after ingesting this unique honey. Recently this honey has been rediscovered by Eldri Ento, as a preventative means to stave off lycanthropy and as a potential ingredient in lycanthropy cures.
Refinement
