You're probably most familiar with honey as being something sweet you spread on your toast for breakfast. But did you know it can also be used to treat sunburn, condition hair and make drawer fresheners?
Honey has been used since 7000BCE and it still remains to be a fascinating and useful ingredient. There are many myths and superstitions surrounding honey, and it is known as a wonder ingredient. In the the past it has been used as a form of currency and it has been used for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years, so it's pretty special for a product of nature.

The True Amazons: Or, the Monarchy of Bees
What makes this book so special in relation to others of the same title and year is the unique, individual, eccentric hand written inscriptions, notes and personal remarks by the original owner though out. This is a time capsule as an important reference field guide of its time. It would have been taken to the owners apiary, read, points of interest noted and taken back to their study for further reading.
It is an honour and privilege to hold this book with your own hands as other have done over the past hundreds of years. A masterpiece of practical and scientific study making for great reading today. The work, which was considerably in advance of any former treatise and contained many curious particulars concerning the habits of bees as well as practical instructions for their management stand the test of time.
Many early signatures to pages. Contents in g. to. vg. condition. An important and successful book which went to nine English editions plus others in German and Italian.
