Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy melon and fresh, briny olives.
If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small spoon to scoop out the melon balls.
Be sure to remove the pits from the olives before skewering them.
If you don't have black pepper honey, you can make your own by mixing together 1 tablespoon of honey with 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
To make the skewers even more flavorful, you can marinate them in the black pepper honey for 30 minutes before grilling.
Serve the skewers immediately, while the melon is still fresh and juicy.
