Honey was used for sweetening, making sweet cakes, candies, and so on. It was also used for making mead, which is diluted honey that has been fermented. It is a bit like wine, but with a honey flavor that is different from wine. It was also quite expensive, and not a drink for everyday use by ordinary people.

Candles, but it was very expensive so most candles were made of tallow. The beeswax candles smell sweetly, but the tallow smelled and gave off oily smoke. The church sometimes used beeswax candles, but they were so expensive that they were saved for special times.
