“Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey...”
by Ludmila Martinicka

Doesn't the sweet taste reminds you a Sunday morning? When you put honey on the sweet bread and drench it in the hot cocoa. The sweet taste, sweet smell and fairy tales on the TV. Or the winter time, when it snows behind the window and inside it is so nice warm, with a tea sweetened by honey in your hands. Sweetening life is not the only use of honey. Although, for me, it would be enough. There are many kinds and varieties of honey. Depends on the honey bees. Each bee product has unique taste, aroma and colour from the particular flower or tree. We can use it in the kitchen for cooking, some people says, it is more healthy than sugar. Also scientists concede, that there is something healing in the honey. It can work by coating and soothing an irritated throat. National Honey Board, which is industry-funded agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, financed a resource about it and according to research, honey works best. Moreover, health advisers warn before giving cough medicine to children under the age of 6. For them honey would be better solution. On the other hand, be careful about giving honey to babies under age 1, as it could cause rare but serious illness. Honey can be found also in cosmetics. It can set at rest skin irritation, heal small wounds and soften the skin. It is often used as an ingredient of the face masks, shower gels, creams... Don't forget about other uses and bee products. Candles made of bee wax are nice decoration, and honey candies could confirm the chilling atmosphere. Now you can start sing...sweets for my sweet... It is not the one of the new commercial songs, belongs to golden oldies. Golden as honey and old as medicine of your grandmas.
