Honey Commonly Used in Recipes....

During the "old days" recipes called for honey to add sweetness. In fact, honey was once the only method of sweetening until sugar cane was introduced and so old recipes do feature it strongly. Indeed during war time, with sugar on ration, bee keepers came into their own and honey was once again used as a sweetener. Gail Anderson-Dargatz in her strikingly evocative novel on Canadian farming, “A recipe for bees” says “During the war honey had replaced sugar for canning, sweetening tea and coffee, and making cakes and cookies. Now that the war and rationing was ended, the market for honey had bottomed out. Augusta herself had dumped her honey-canned fruit once sugar was available. Everyone was hungry for sugar then, and sick and tired of honey.”

Why Choose Beeswax for Your Skin?
Many creams and lotions for hands, feet and face contain beeswax. These moisturizers contain other oils, such as mineral or olive, and the result is an emollient that does an excellent job of soothing and softening the skin. It also protects the skin because it's water resistant. However, it's a myth that beeswax causes or worsens acne and pimples. Beeswax is so safe and mild that baby products contain the ingredient. Lanolin and paraffin are cheaper than beeswax, but they are reportedly not as beneficial to the skin as beeswax. Read more: http://www.livestrong.com/article/6341-need-beeswax/
