You've helped me with a step toward clarifying something I read in a
sixties cookery book I sadly no longer have, so can't give the title.
The author was describing a friend's kitchen, and referred to a
demijohn of "bee wine" on the windowsill, with, s/he said, a dead bee
going up and down in it. Have you got more detail?
(Was it Katherine Whitehorn's _Cooking in a Bedsitter_ ? How we've
travelled on since then!)
George Orwell's "Coming up for air"??
