Show Arabian Honey. Arabian honey, which is frequently mentioned by historians as an important im-portant export from Aden in early times, Is no longer an item in the export ex-port trade. Small quantities, however, how-ever, continue to come from Mokalla, 400 miles east of Aden, and it is also exported from that place to India in small quantities. The decline in the honey and wax industry has been gradual for centuries, and is attributed to a diminution in the rainfall. The honey that comes to market in Aden is packed in'gourds and goatskins and sometimes in hollow pumpkins. |
