With the holidays around the corner and bee populations on the decline, the University of Bristol’s Urban Pollination Project wants to show us what our holiday dinner would look like if bees didn’t exist. Also, what would be the holidays without nutmeg to compliment warm cinnamon?

Menthol is the compound found in mint, toothpaste, peppermint gum, and similar products that gives your mouth that chilly sensation.
