Bava Batra 80: Honey and Honeycomb
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
A new mishnah! If you buy the "fruits" of a dovecoat, or of a beehive, or even honeycomb, then the "first fruits" of each of them need to be left for the seller to bring in offering. The mishnah specifies what measure of each is necessary. Also, if you buy the honeycombs of a beehive, you need to leave 2 of them behind for the bees. Plus, a discourse on the unique properties of honey as food -- that comes from a non-kosher animal, no less -- as well as a discussion of the nature of the beehive as a kind of property.
