13. Sweet Meade

I found honey today! I haven’t seen a hive since before the darkness. I attribute its existence to the warmer weather of late. I took only a modest amount – the hive is a bit small, as one might imagine. I had some dry Kornbröd in the hearth, so I moistened it with some of the honey. The remainder I set out to make meade. With luck, it will be fermented in a week or so.
