Meam Loez Gen 8:10-11 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. Of all leaves, the dove picks an olive leave, why? No tree produces leaves that are more bitter to the taste than the olive. The dove was in effect saying “It is better for me that my food be bitter like an olive leaf and come from G-D, than have it as sweet as honey, and coming from man.
