Abstract
The author of this paper was Secretary of the University of London School of Slavonic and East European Studies from 1932 to 1960. She has applied the knowledge and working methods she learned there, to a study of contemporary historical sources which throw light on Russian beekeeping in the Middle Ages and earlier. This study has just been published (pages 49, 98). Miss Galton recently moved to Norfolk, and there she became interested in the activities of the port of Kings Lynn in mediaeval times. Her interest was heightened when she found evidence of a direct link with Russian beekeeping. Some of the beeswax which she had traced from its production in Russian forests to the wax traders in Novgorod had apparently been imported into England at Lynn. The details presented in this article throw new light on the extensive European trade in beeswax in the Middle Ages.
