Joyce White a keen beekeeper, who used her honey in much of her cooking has written a recipe book which covers its use in all types of meals together with preserves, beverages and bread making.

Honey in the kitchen

WHITE, Joyce

<p>No creature has provided man with so much wholesome food as the honey bee. Equally impressive is the number of beliefs and superstitions the industrious insect has inspired. Its honey, which was known to the ancient Greeks as the “food of the Gods,” played an important role in early religious rites and was also mentioned in the folklore of many peoples. Hilda Ransome's well-documented and copiously illustrated study of bees focuses on this valuable byproduct of nature and its creator — the "sacred" bee.<br />
Chapters cover the folklore of bees and bee culture — from Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Hittite, and other ancient sources as well as practices in modern England, France, and Central Europe. Thirty-five plates of rare black-and-white illustrations depict bees, hives, and beekeepers as they appear in ancient paintings and sculpture, on coins, jewelry, and Mayan glyphs; and carved into African tree trunks. Folk stories from Finland and the bee in America are also described.<br />
Hailed by The New York Times as possessing an "oddity, beauty, and broad scholarly interest," this unusual book will attract a wide audience — nature lovers and folklore enthusiasts included.</p>

Great Masters of Beekeeping

Ron Brown

This is the fourth edition of Beeswax, which has an updated candle-making section and more on wax casting and other useful wax information.   Ron Brown is a well-known lecturer on beekeeping and is the author of several beekeeping books and pamphlets.  In 1981 Beeswax was the first book on the subject for nearly 73 years - since Cowan's Waxcraft appeared - and has been published by popular request. It contains details on the history, chemical content, and the many uses of beeswax. The 20 illustrations are carefully chosen to make this an essentially practical book for beekeeper, wax candle and polish maker as well as for the interested reader, who may have often wondered what produced the shine on the dining-room table.
