Honey is now thought of mostly as a sweetener, but in its long
history around the world, it has been treated as a food, tonic,
medicine and preservative. It was also used in religious rituals as
a sacred food from the gods. And its creators - bees - are vital to
the pollination of wild plants as well as many domesticated crops.
Lucy M. Long explores the fascinating history of honey, tracing its
use and meanings through numerous cultures and demonstrating how
this seemingly simple substance is connected to politics, religion,
economics, popular culture and beliefs about the natural and
supernatural world.
