Introduction
Food fit for Pharaohs
Honey holds a unique place in the
history of mankind. It is the nectar of
the gods, manna from heaven, the
ambrosia of life, worshipped by the
Pharaohs, held sacred by the ancient
Greeks honey has been part of our
lives since time began. Its legendary
qualities are beyond dispute and for
sheer natural goodness it has no equal.
Honey is recognised as a natural
sweetener and an almost instant provider
of energy. But it is very much more than
that. It can play its part in the treatment
of coughs, colds and sore throats. It is
easy to take for granted something that
can play an important part in the welfare
of ourselves and our families. However,
what you can take for granted is that
wherever you see honey bearing the
name Rowse this is the best quality
honey that money can buy.

About Honey
A History of Honey
Beekeeping is recognised in cave paintings
in Spain which are about 7000 years old and
it is known that 4,000 years ago the ancient
Egyptians used honey as a sweetener and
recognised its therapeutic properties in
certain religious rites. The ancient Greeks
were the first to keep hives for the purpose
of honey production believing it essential to
a healthy diet. They offered honey as a
tribute to their Gods and it was referred to
as Ambrosia food of the Gods. Equally, in
recognition of the nutritional values of
honey the Greeks were considered to be the
first to use honey to make the alcoholic
beverage known as mead, referred to as
the nectar of the Gods. Britain has been
famed for its honey for many years.
For about 2000 years mead was our national
drink. The term honeymoon allegedly
derives from the English custom from when
