This review is for those who use honey. Many vegetarians do not use honey.

This book has interesting information most people may not be aware of. The author, a beekeeper himself, is very knowledgeable and presents many ideas, some of which are backed by scientific studies. In simple, readable style, he includes everything from the history of honey to practical uses. Sections on the composition, types of honey, health benefits, therapeutic use for different conditions, health and beauty uses, are very informative. The chapter on The Joy of Honey includes toxic and gourmet honeys and other products of bees, how to buy and store honey, and most of all, a few honey recipes. A long list of resources are given at the end of the book.

A very useful reference book.… (meer)
