Mad Honey!  The Greeks defeated the Romans with that stuff.  It usually is found around Turkey.

I remember watching a documentary on people harvesting this crazy honey in Nepal. I believe its one of the Netflix nature documentaries. Not something I would want to try after seeing how sick those guys got. I have also heard that beekeepers in Turkey close off their hives when the rhododendrons are flowering. I had some comb honey when I was there last year...was horrible compared to Perry's comb honey.

But Perry takes his extracted honey down the street and has it fermented. With enough of it, you can get the same knockout, and the sickness doesn't come until the next morning.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The link to what Perry posted doesn't show up for me either because I don't do Instagram, I have AddBlock enabled, or I am using Linux.
Here is another link to the documentary if the ones Perry listed do not work for you.
