Honey is not only the best, but the most natural of all food, and will go much farther if it is mixed well with a moderate quantity of good sweet wort. Some prescribe toasts of bread sopped in strong ale, and put into the bee-hive, whereof they will not leave one crumb remaining; some also advise to put into the hive dry meat, or flour of beans; others bay salt, roasted apples, &c. which are very good, especially salt; which if some were mixed with water, and always set near them, it might do well, as it is certain that bees near the sea always thrive the best.
