Harpercollins (Verlag)
978-0-00-843011-5 (ISBN)
Honey has been prized by humans for thousands of years for its sweetness, nutrition, and medicinal properties. Honey collection is one of the oldest known human activities – with home beekeeping never more popular than today. Contemporary hives can be found on top of Paris’ Notre Dame, the Whitney Museum in NYC, the urban farms of Detroit, and – chances are – your neighbor’s backyard.
Honey’s benefits have been known by homeopaths for centuries, but honey has seen its star rise in the last decade, as its cure-all benefits have been rallied by health food stores and cosmetics trade. Honey is one of the world’s only natural sweeteners. It also contains nutrients, enzymes, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids – a true super food. From allergies to baking, hangover cures to haircare, honey’s applications are endless – discover how to use it to its full potential!
Charming, engaging, and comprehensive, The Honey Book is the ultimate guide to this liquid perfection and the myriad applications it has to offer.
Andrea Kirk Assaf and her family keep goats and honeybees on a Michigan farm nicknamed “The Milk and Honey Homestead.” They were inspired to begin beekeeping by Kalim Assaf, the author’s father-in-law, who first tended bees on the rooftop of his residence on Mount Lebanon. The Assafs’ Michigan bees have provided a number of adventures, including curing a friend of apiphobia and treating allergies, as well as an organic wildflower honey business for a number of years. Besides consuming honey on a daily basis, Andrea writes and edits books, homeschools her children, and travels for work to Italy with her family during the winter while the bees are hibernating. Andrea is an editor and author, journalist and blogger, farmer and beekeeper. She is also the author of a number of titles for William Collins, including CS Lewis’ Little Book of Wisdom and Pope Francis’ Little Book of Wisdom.
