And is there Honey still for Tea? is a Winnie-the-Pooh story by Jay Tryfanstone written for the first Apocabigbang and published in 2010. It has fanart by dualbunny and a fanmix by ishie. It became well known because of the incongruity of mixing favorite childhood characters with an apocalyptic setting. It was praised for keeping the voice and tone of the original canon while exploring some dark subject matter.
The fic was published to the author's website and linked in the Apocabigbang Livejournal comm, and later posted to AO3 in 2012. As of 2022, it has close to 6,000 hits, more than 200 kudos, more than 55 comments and more than 100 bookmarks on Archive of Our Own, making it the second-most-kudosed and bookmarked Winnie-the-Pooh fic on AO3, after Sherlock-the-Pooh by thisprettywren.
The title of the story comes from the poem "The Old Vicarage, Grantchester" by Rupert Brooke.
