Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.

It was the accepted practice in Babylon, 4,000 years ago, that for a month after the
wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
