Bee larvae are fed primarily on pollen, because pollen is primarily protein and the larvae need protein to grow. Honey is made primarily of sugar, and it's what the adult bees eat during winter. Queen bees lay eggs throughout the spring, summer, and fall, but when winter comes and the honey is eaten, egg production stops.
AB's invisible wife is cheating with the milk man?! OK girls, I say we take her out behind the invisible barn and teach her a lesson! (Nobody does that to our Alton) :D
One nice thing about being a white guy in the Southwest is that you can finagle a LOT of delicious Mexican desserts from your Hispanic friends and they're only too happy to show the gringo what's what!
@snidelywhiplash It's spanish, but we use it in English. So when alton uses it he is speaking english, not spanish, so it does not matter that he does not pronunce it the 'spanchish' way.
When I was a little girl I used to do what he did to the cake slice at 5:56 to cupcakes. But now I know how to make tres leche cake so I don't need to do that anymore! LOL
@taborgate Not all measuring cups are made equal. Plastic ones, especially, can warp making them less accurate. Weight is simply more accurate. And since Alton is all about the science it makes sense.

yay you can't buy raw milk in most states but just ignore the peanut butter spinach or pistachios for that matter that can kill you i for one am tired of the man telling me I'm to much of an idiot to drink what i want
I wish I had started watching this show more before I took college Biology. I never would have missed that question on starch molecules and fat molecules.
Loved the part where the milkman comes to the door with a bouquet of flowers, clearly expecting Mrs. Brown, but instead comes face to face with the husband. Alton Brown you sly dog!
I think alot of people are lactose intolerant are actually pasteruization intolerant. I can drink raw milk and not get sick. Pasteruized milk sends me straight to the loo! *barf*
um...I think something else about the pasteurized milk is making you sick. Have you asked your doc about that? And it mostly is lactose intolerance, unhappily enough, for millions of people--they lack the enzyme lactase (it breaks down lactose into galactose and glucose) after childhood, and they become lactose intolerant. It's nothing to do with the pasteurization process. Do you drink pasteurized milk from cows treated with rBGH? BST? Other hormones? Those could be making you sick.
Um, interesting theory but I think the process of pasteurisation itself breaks down the natural enzymes that are normally in the milk that would otherwise help to digest it. The pasteruised milk I used to drink did NOT have rBGH or BST so I don't think it was a reaction to hormones.
Did the USAD just fire a Hellfire missile at Louis Pasteur?

Why does he overcomplicate it by saying "8 ounces of sugar, that's by weight, not by volume"?
Protip for Alton Brown: 8 ounces of sugar, by weight, will perfectly fill a measuring cup.
