Jo,

You may want to check:

Harissis, H. and A. Harissis (2009) Apiculture in the Prehistoric Aegean: Minoans and Mycenaean Symbols Revisited. Oxford: John and Erica Hedges Ltd. (Available from Hadrian Books).

I took detailed notes from that book a few years ago. I will send them to you at your email address.

Subject: Honey

Dear All,
Can anyone recommend some reading on the uses of honey in ancient Greece, and more broadly any anthropological studies of honey and its use in ritual (not limited to Greece, or even to the Mediterranean)? Eva Crane's books are great but very wide-ranging, there is one on Egypt (Tears of Re, by Gene Kritsky) and some details about it in Linear B in Bendall's Economics of Mycenaean Religion. I have plenty of info on ceramic beehives already, so need to provide those.
Thanks a lot,
Jo
