I like to sweeten my tee with honey. When I order tea at a diner it is sometimes difficult to get honey. It is not convienent to carry a jar of honey around with me.

I envision these honey drops as little pea-sized honey filled spheres that can sit on your home shelf, or at the diner, and not get everything sticky.

This is a terrible discriptionary tale, but I'm not in the mood to be funny, witty, poetic or to spell and use grammer precisely.....It's about the honey. Not me.

I used to think my Grandmother's clear vitamin E capsules looked good enough to eat. Now, a similar form that I really can eat. I like it.

Some types of ants have beaten us to this idea by several million years [link]

I'm positive this is baked. I've seen packets of honey "beads" before.

Or maybe they were amber beads. One never can remember.

Like the new link to "momints.net", but filled with Honey instead of minty freshness.

Packaged Central Australian honey ants would do nicely, except they'd add a slightly bitter formic acid aftertaste

This is a very good idea, but one question; what happens to the gelatin when it dissolves?

Hard to believe they don't have this already.

A very close idea is already in common use...they are the little packets of honey that are with the jelly packets on tables in restaurants. I always keep several in my glove box to smear on french frys (chips) when I order a burger and frys...hey, don't be overly critical until you have tried it...honey on chips is great...also try mixing the honey with catsup, then dipping the chips...My Goodness, they are wonderful that way.

although, I must warn you I also enjoy strawberry jam, mayo and bologna sandwiches. I just enjoy the sweet and sour flavors together.

I could just as well open a packet for my tea were I in Britian.

But, I really like the idea of dissolving honey capsules. This idea should be valuable to someone.

[mecotterill] -What do you mean "what happens to the geletin" when it dissolves? The tiny bit that it is is dissolved in your tea or whathaveyou and you drink it. Tasteless essentially.
