Bee Lore

Legend has it that about 4,000 years ago, in Babylon, the bride’s father gave his son-in-law honey beer or meade for a whole month (or moon) after the wedding ceremony.  Alcoholic honey for a month, with plenty of time for the couple to enjoy time together!  Quite a difference from today’s tradition of a honeymoon being long holiday away from home – and normally much less than a month!
