During the early part of World War II a brigade of French soldiers were trapped by a superior force of German force and unable to escape. The French were without adequate food and virtually out of water for several hot September days. When they finally escaped the encirclement, the soldiers retreated. They came across a farm with many bee hives and quickly removed the combs and ate large amounts of honey. All but one perished within several hours. WHY??? (They did not die from enemy fire or bee stings.)
