They would make such great presents.<BR/><BR/>lavender cupcaker- thanks!<BR/><BR/>wheresmymind- right now there isn't a Taz, but hey you never know what they decide to do. <BR/><BR/>Alexa- wow I should check out that article.

And if you only get to try it once, it should be enough!<BR/><BR/>orchidea- oh yes acacia honey is also beautiful, i have tried it with some yoghurt at breakfast. It was a great way to start the day. <BR/><BR/>ilingc- im glad not too many people were disgusted by the wax-spitting, I think it's the wax-eating that is much harder to swallow : )<BR/><BR/>Helene- maybe we could do a swap.
