Why is there a picture of a lion with bees on the Lyles Golden Syrup logo?
In the Bible, in Judges, Chapter 14, Samson kills a lion and later sees that a swarm of bees had formed a comb of honey in the carcass. Samson then turned this into a riddle: “Out of the eater came forth meat and out of the strong came forth sweetness”. While no one is sure why this quotation was chosen, we do know that such a quotation would have greatly appealed to the deeply religious Abram Lyle.
