Steps:
- Take whatever you need out of the refrigerator so that all ingredients can come to room temperature, and while that's happening, melt the chocolate from the cake part of the ingredients list in a good-sized bowl, either in the microwave or suspended over a pan of simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and butter and line a 9-inch springform tin.
- Beat together the sugar and soft butter until airy and creamy, and then add the honey.
- Add 1 of the eggs, beating it in with a tablespoon of the flour, and then the other egg with another tablespoon of flour. Fold in the melted chocolate, and then the rest of the flour and baking soda. Add the cocoa pushed through a tea strainer to ensure you have no lumps, and last of all, beat in the boiling water. Mix everything well to make a smooth batter and pour into the prepared tin. Cook for up to 1 1/2 hours, though check the cake after 45 minutes and if it is getting too dark, cover the top lightly with aluminium foil and keep checking every 15 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely in the tin on a rack.
- To make the glaze, bring the water and honey to a boil in a saucepan, then turn off the heat and add the finely chopped chocolate, swirling it around to melt in the hot liquid. Leave it for a few minutes, then whisk together. Add the sugar through a sieve and whisk again until smooth.
- Choose your plate or stand, and cut out 4 strips of baking paper and form a square outline on the plate. This is so that when you sit the cake on and ice it, the icing will not run out all over the plate. Unclip the tin and set the thoroughly cooled cake on the prepared plate. Pour the glaze over the cold honey bee cake; it might dribble a bit down the edges, but don't worry too much about that. The glaze stays tacky for ages (this is what gives it its lovely melting gooiness) so ice in time for the glaze to harden a little, say at least an hour before you want to serve it. Keep the pan of glaze, (don't wash it up), as you will need it to make the stripes on the bees.
- Divide the marzipan into 6 even pieces and shape them into fat, sausage-like bees' bodies, slightly tapered at the ends.
- Using a wooden skewer, paint stripes with the sticky honey glaze left in the pan from icing the cake. About 3 stripes look best, and then very carefully attach the flaked almonds at an angle to make the bees' wings, 2 on each one. They might snap as you dig them into the marzipan bodies, so have some spare. I'm afraid to admit, I also like to give them eyes by dipping the point of the skewer in the glaze and thence on the bees: they look more loveable with an expression, which is somehow what the eyes give them, but then this is where the Disney effect comes in. If a more imperial dignity is required, forgo the dotting of the eyes and present this as your Napoleonic Chocolate Cake.

- Honey Cake I. "This is an old German recipe," recipe creator Suzanne Stull says, adding that it tastes even better when it's baked in advance.
- Torrone (Italian Nut and Nougat Confection) If you love nougat, you'll go nuts over this honey-based candy. Bad puns aside, roasted pistachios and almonds give Chef John's take on Italian torrone a satisfying crunch.
- Greek Baklava. Thanks to store-bought phyllo dough, baking syrupy, flaky baklava takes less effort than you'd think. The recipe doesn't specify which nuts to use in the filling, but reviewers can vouch for pistachios and walnuts (which this Middle Eastern and Mediterranean pastry traditionally calls for) as well as pecans.
- Lemon Honey Butter Tarts. Top unbaked tart shells with sour-sweet lemon curd for another treat that uses store-bought dough. "My grandmother used to keep bees, and all of us tried to come up with new ways to use honey.
- Lavender Honey Ice Cream. "So, so, so good! I've made my fair share of ice cream, and this is up there with the most amazing consistencies I've come across.
