We have bred plants and animals for thousands of years to produce the desired traits. For example, we produced dogs ranging from poodles to Great Danes, and roses from sweet-smelling miniatures to today's long-lasting, but scent-free reds”…

accumulates underneath, which is protected by wax made by the bees. We bring the drawers into the pool house and take a hot knife to burn off the wax sealing the honey inside. Once the wax is burned off, we put the drawers into a spinner; we put the lid on, the container spins and the honey is forced out. The honey drips out of the bottom into a container, which we bring inside. We then put the honey through a strainer to extract any remaining wax. After a couple of days, the honey goes…
