Honey was stored in the large clay vessels, but they were also used to store mead. Honey mead is drunk at festivals and ceremonies. It is said to have a germicidal effect and is therefore also used as medicine. In order to collect the honey, the nests of the aggressive, wild honeybee were fumigated.
