Bees do it

Honey to buzz about

Watertown's Arax Market (603 Mt. Auburn Street), known for its fresh fruits and vegetables, also stocks its shelves with a number of Greek imports. One of note: Attiki Honey. Derived from the thyme flower, this honey offers a slightly different flavor than clover or orange-blossom honey. It is also a high-density sweetener, less processed than its American counterpart, and loaded with nature's nutrients. And, rumor has it, it's packed with medical benefits, such as quieting coughs and clearing congestion. A one-pound jar costs $5.49.
