Fly Bate
We must have heard the phrase “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar” and have seen some signs of it, especially when we put out our sweet treats. During the early days, Egyptians would take the phrase literally than we do now and use the exact elements to their benefits. Honey is a sweet delicacy made by bees from pollen they receive from flowers and is considered a household and medical product.

However, taking the phrase literally saw an act of cruel being portrayed against the innocent and humble. Egyptian Pharaohs used honey to keep flies away from them by pouring it on their servants so flies would swarm them instead. That sure was a heartless thing to do, and even if the servants were beautiful, the flies alone would be a major distraction.
