I’M standing in a Georgian building in Dublin, staring at a jar of honey.

Five or six years ago, this image might have conjured up an overblown breakfast in a boutique hotel. Or a stroll down the aisles of a organic deli, perhaps — where a souvenir-sized pot of Manuka honey would pull a price in the double digits.

Today, it’s different. The honey I’m looking at sits in a modest little pot, and it’s not for sale — it’s displayed in a glass case in the Little Museum of Dublin.
