A simple and cost‐effective synthesis of green luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) from an easily available bioresource, honey (made by bees using nectar from flowers), is illustrated. S. Mahesh and co‐workers from the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), Trivandrum, propose on page 70 that these GQDs with excellent luminescence properties can be utilized as a fluorescent security ink and also as a component for white‐light emission.
