Hello all --

Over on the Mead Lovers Digest, someone recently posted about honey
fermenting into mead in the wild in this way.  He described how honey
can run down the inside of hollow trees like old birch trees and then
begin to ferment when water begins to collect around the root system.
He described seeing "little foamy puddles around the bee tree" when
he was young.

Have any of you ever seen anything like this?  I'm curious if this
is a natural phenomena that happens often enough to be observed in
the wild.

Thanks for any help!
