Honey was one source of sweetner in medieval times.
Birch trees were another souce of sugar and energy - trees were tapped, just as maple trees are tapped, and the resulting sap concentrated to use for sweetening. The birch sap was also allowed to ferment to make a 'small' (meaning weak) beer.

Life in the Village Medieval Times.

The Villager's Calendar:

A villager's life was that of a farmer.
A look at what the villagers' year might have been like:

January: The new year was a time of celebration filled with feasting with friends and neighbors.

February: The villagers cut wood from the dead trees in the forest. Wood was the main source for fuel.

March: The villagers pruned the vines in the early spring. Only the strongest shoots were left to fruit.

April: Both men and women went to work planting and weeding the crops. If the fields were left, the weeds would choke the crops.

May: The villagers had to inspect the bee hives. Honey provided sweetness for them, sugar was a luxury.

June: The first crop of hay had to be cut and dried to provide food for the animal's during winter.

July: The villagers had to harvest wheat. Everyone joined in with the harvest. If it failed, they would starve.

August: Threshing with some flails, the villagers separated the grains from the husks.

September: The villagers stomped on grapes to make wine. (this is called treading the grapes.) The grapes are also made into raisins.

October: The villagers set out to sew the wheat. The villagers threw grain into the fields.

November: The villagers grazed the rough pastures and waste lands.

December: Hogs were slaughtered. The meat was preserved by salting or smoking.

Lighting was by rushlights or candles, of wax or tallow (melted animal fat), impaled on vertical spikes or an iron candlestick with a tripod base, or held in a loop, or supported on wall brackets or iron candelabra.
Oil lamps in bowl form on a stand, or suspended in a ring, provided better illumination, and flares sometimes hung from the wall.
Fireplaces were where meat could be spitted or stewed in a cauldron.

Honey was a good source. But the human body does not need refined sugar as it manufactures its own from carbohydrates
