OK
 
The Beetles and others recorded a Taste of  Honey, and the lyrics say its 
"Sweeter than  Wine".  Peter got me on the right track by citing: A  Taste of 
Honey" by Gonnet and Vache - but the shipping cost from  Apimonidia press 
to US exceeds that of the cost of the book.  I'm  cheap, so I hate to pay 
more in freight than the book cost - how about an  e-book?
 
But then the Beetles reminded me the I  Get By with a Little Help from my 
Friends.  When I googled A Taste  of Honey, I found lots of different 
recordings by different artists - Herb  Alpert's version was a hit in the US.  I 
also found other articles that  cited the Gonnet and Vache book, including 
this one from 2004 by Spanish  investigators:

Bingo!!!  On-Line, describes methods and terms.  Just what I was  looking 
for, with instant download and no cost.  
 
Two issues:
 
1)  I am still looking for the Gonnet  book.  Anyone   on this side of the 
pond  got one they'd like to sell and not charge more  that the book for the 
shipping?
2) Has anyone  found any other articles or books that   are more recent 
than the  2004 article?
 
How about the folks in New Zealand?  I was impressed by the marketing  of 
varietal honeys  when I visited.
 
Thanks to  Peter and to Ghislain for pointing me at the Gonnet/Vache  book 
and the French web sites.
 
As quick as this response was, I truly  get by with a little help from  my 
'Bee-L' friends.  Randy I just call and bug.
