Why is it masculine?
Miels is masculine in French because it derives from Latin "mel" (nominative singular), which was a neuter noun. During the evolution from Latin to French, the oblique case form "mellis" (with its -is ending) influenced French speakers to reanalyze the word as masculine, following the pattern of Latin second-declension masculine nouns. This reflects a common sound change where neuter Latin nouns were reassigned to masculine gender in French and other Romance languages.
