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 replace 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.” Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:10:38 +0000 ecc9a7c3b0bee5ca2677c74de2ed7727 http://www.smallholder.co.uk/news/beesandhoney/4702990.Bee_keepers_are_winners_at_Countryside_Live/?ref=rss Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October New attractions and record entries in the competitive classes ensured the seventh Countryside Live was a huge success, said organisers, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society.
