But the most unusual thing is not even this wool, but the fact that Indians extract honey without any bees. They squeeze the juice from the cane and boil it over a fire. The juice becomes hard and crunches on the teeth like salt. And it tastes sweeter than honey! - Lies! ... In the world there is nothing sweeter than bee honey!
