Apparently, they call mead "hydromel" (water honey?) in France. I found a bottle sealed with beeswax at a little farmer's market in the absolutely beautiful town of Cassis, along the southern Coast, between Marseilles and St. Tropez. I'll let you know how it turns out.
As a bonus, when I told the beekeeper we had "deux ruches" back in Seattle, he didn't scorn our "city honey". Rest of the story of the day and the beautiful city of Cassis on our travel blog.

That is what the bees and cows are trying to tell mankind. You know with the honey and the milk and stuff like that. See the bees {madumaki) toil day and night to create that honey for their own consumption and give some to humanity. The milk that the cow produces is for it's calves (bachada) consumption. The cow willinging gives humainty some of that milk.
