Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How can you best define honey?

Answer: a food made of nectar from flowers

Not all honey is made by honeybees. Other insects and bees make it as well, and there are distinctly different tastes. Honey is sweet, having most likely the same sweet effect as granulated sugar. It gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose.

Our first saying is: "Three things must epigrams, like bees, have all: A sting and honey and a body small." This has been called an anonymous Spanish and Latin epigram.
2. Complete this phrase: "When you shoot an arrow of truth," what do you dip its point in?

Answer: honey

This is an Arabian proverb. Since many peoples believed that the soul departed from the body, it became the practice to leave honey for the dead in their graves. Some peoples believed that honey was highly pure--pure enough that a corpse might reincarnate. (Democritus believed this, for example). The Egyptians mastered the art of embalming with honey and wax.
3. What is "the only bee that makes honey without flowers"?

Answer: hope

This comment was made by Robert Green Ingersoll. He was an American statesman and orator who steadfastly defended atheism.
4. What word best finishes this Irish saying: "Though honey is sweet, do not lick it off a ___"?

Answer: briar

This is an Irish proverb. Apparently, honey production in Ireland about the time of World War I was about half a million pounds.

Another direct Irish proverb is "If God sends you down a stony path, may he give you strong shoes."
5. Make yourself honey and what will devour you?

Answer: flies

This phrase comes from Miguel de Cervantes, author of 'Don Quixote' (Book II). [The Spanish is: "Haceos miel, y paparos han moscas."]

Another down-to-earth quote from "Don Quixote" is "Hunger is the best sauce in the world." [The Spanish is "La mejor salsa del mundo es la hambre."]
6. What word best completes the movie title: "Honey, I Shrunk the ____"?

Answer: kids

This famous 1989 movie starred Rick Moranis. As it developed, it had four different working titles, (1) "Teenie Weenies," (2) "Grounded," (3) "The Big Backyard", and, finally, (4) "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids."

On June 23, 1989 in 'The Chicago Sun-Times,' Roger Ebert wrote, "I've been trying to figure out exactly what's missing in 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids'. The special effects are all there, nicely in place, and the production values are sound, but the movie is dead in the water." Perhaps, it stems from that ambivalent word "honey" in the title and in the film.
7. What does honey have the unique ability to absorb? This ability makes honey useful in baking.

Answer: water from air

Honey is hygroscopic. Hygroscopicity refers to honey's capacity to absorb water from air.
8. "If you want to gather honey," what should you NOT do?

Answer: kick over the beehive

This is a saying by Dale Carnegie.

The worker bees in the summer are so active getting nectar that some of them only survive 35 days. Try reading sources online on how bees make honey and their special nectar backpacks.
9. According to the saying, when you go in search of honey, you must expect to be stung by what?

Answer: bees

This adage is attributed to Homer. He was the Greek author of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey."
10. What element in some honeys make them subject to deterioration?

Answer: high water content

Honey is evaluated by its scent, taste, and consistency. Experts say that honey should fall directly down into a bead with a lot of viscosity. If it does not, it indicates excessive water content. Honey with excessive water content is not fit for long-term preservation.
11. What is the famous first 1953 hit for Clyde McPhatter? This song was also sung by Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochran.

Answer: Money Honey

In 2007, business news anchor Maria Bartiromo actually filed to appropriate the term "Money Honey" for many of her products.
12. How exactly do bees make honey out of nectar?

Answer: regurgitation and then storage in honeycombs

While most people extol the beauty of honey, some do not, including writer Rita Dove in "The Old Neighborhood." "'Bee vomit,' my brother said once, 'that's all honey is,' so that I could not put my tongue to its jellied flame without tasting regurgitated blossoms."
13. What is the name of a honey-related song by The Carlisles?

Answer: Honey Love

Their song "Honey Love" was a huge hit in 1954. In 1953, they had also recorded "Leave That Liar Alone."
14. Complete this thought from a great American: "If you have no Honey in your Pot, have some in your ____."

Answer: mouth

This was from the pen and mind of Benjamin Franklin. He also quipped, "Nothing but Money, Is sweeter than Honey." ("Poor Richard's Almanack")
15. What best completes this adage: "Honey in his mouth, _____ in his heart"?

Answer: knives

This is a Chinese proverb. Another one is "He that has no money might as well be buried in a rice tub with his mouth sewn up".
