How interesting - I was kinda prompted to offer some honeycomb, and honey, fortunately my local deli sells it.
I'm not aware of why and googling it didn't bring up any immediately relevant results (I cleared about 5 - 6 pages) so if anyone more experienced in this field has an opinion on why honey, I'd be MOST grateful to hear it!

PLEASE don't support greyhound racing - it's an atrocity and leads to the inhumane deaths of tens of thousands of young, healthy, loving dogs each year in the US & UK alone (Spain, don't even get me started on that).
I've rehomed 3 retired racers now and they're the lucky ones, also vastly in the minority since there are an estimated 6,000 dogs killed each year in Britain alone (only the lucky ones even get to be put down humanely, dogs are routinely injected with anti-freeze, drowned or shot etc), yet all of my dogs have had physical and behavioural problems that came directly from being raced - really sorry to get preachy but this is a big issue with me, greyhounds are wonderful gentle dogs who don't deserve this kind of treatment, there are other much sounder ways to make money gambling that don't cause death and suffering to innocent mutts - casinos for example give employment and that has to be a cleaner way to gamble.
Here's a link to an action group that has all the info about why racing is SO atrocious, and I will shut up now, sorry for going off topic but I HAD to speak from the heart on that one...
