Save the bees! Without them no food, no pollination, watch your use of insecticides and plant flowers.

gattomalato, children under one cannot have honey due to minute traces of botulism in the honey. Their immune system has not developed enough to combat the small traces.

Also a natural antiseptic for wound healing due to its antibacterial and peroxide content.

Honey is an amazing product that still baffles science, 1 % of its contents are not yet identified. Bees are vital even to our survival (pollination) but sadly heading towards extinction because of pesticides and other things. It's wasps who are the aggressive buggers.

I read an article not long ago that tested US honey & found that most of what is sold commercially is not real honey because it contains no pollen. This is because large companies microfilter it to remove the pollen so it can't be traced to sources that the US has deemed illegal due to their use of nasty chemicals. My take away from the article was that almost everything locally sourced & from farmer's markets is real... but from the grocery stores it's most likely not & there's no way to tell where it comes from.

This unfinished entry needs to be fixed. Also, the word is tract, not track (digestive tract).

Lady Jazz, honey has been used for years and years they are not just starting. They are bringing back old remedies especially for ulcers as they cannot be easily cured honey in the form that it is today in the dressings does not work.

Soy sauce also doesn’t spoil due to the salt content. My husband buried a bottle of soy sauce when he was 12 in 1977 and my 12-year-old son dug it up in 2018 and tasted it and it was fine 41 years later.

GingerSometimes, I was exactly dreaming that to answer it is not a solid food it's a medicinal sap or Syrup

Honey can last for decades or even centuries if stored in a sealed container because of it's low water content, high acidity, and biological makeup. Honey's high sugar content and low pH level make it inhospitable for organisms that spoil food. Honey's acidic nature, with a pH level between 3 and 4.5, also contributes to its longevity. Honey's high sugar content prevents germs from growing, and oxygen can't dissolve in honey, making it difficult for germs to grow there.

Lady Jazz, I wonder why the millitary hospitals don't use it. Are they afraid the soldiers will lick the treatment off?

We had a bee hive under our shed. Had a bee keeper out to remove the hive and relocate it to his bee farm. He gave me a piece of the honeycomb. Glad I didn't call an exteminator.
