" There proceedeth a liquor of various colors." There 

 is the following note in the Rev. J. M. Rodwell's trans- 

 lation of the Koran : " The Arabs are curious in and 

 fond of honey. Mecca alone affords eight or nine 



varieties, green, white, red, and brown " 



This does not mean that Mecca has that many varieties of 



bees. Honey differs in color, flavor, and consistency accord- 

 ing to the flowers from which it is gathered.
