    My Viking blood craves mead. Besides, honey is the ultimate healer-of-all-things (jazz hands), so mead is an important part of a balanced diet.

    Michele, do not ever, and I mean EVER, deny your Viking blood what it wants. (Especially if said Viking blood causes you to use jazz hands for emphasis).

    Can our Viking blood be satisfied at, say, Terroir or Hearth?

    Why, yes, yes it indeed can. (You need to provide your own Viking helmet, however).

    Over 700 species of bees make honey (they do not gather it – they gather nectar). Including the stingless bees means you can discuss stingless beekeeping and “New World” meads such as Balche – a honey beer made by Mayans.

    Brian, thanks for writing in….and for taking care of the world’s bees. You deserve an endless, monthly supply of mead delivered to your doorstep for your efforts.
