Loved the recipes mingled throughout the book along with the information for using honey and beeswax. Never thought to combine certain ingredients with honey until reading this book. Feng shui and beauty tips are included. A pet treat recipe. Little personal insights throughout that I found interesting as well.

Gee, Emily Dickinson said it all:
The Pedigree of Honey does not concern the Bee.
A Clover, any time, to him, is Aristocracy.
