Spot on!
I am conflicted on Honey. I buy only raw local. Only one or two tsp/night sometimes to stave hunger -- as indicated in the "Honey Diet" regime.
It's been reported that beekeepers and honey eaters live longer (small study), their "Telomeres" (DNA strands degradable end caps) are longer like the Read Sea urchin -- it lives with an reproductive good "health-span" of 200 years. It maintains very long DNA Telomere caps.
I also practice BVT (known as Apitherapy) or bee-venom therapy. Works for me, and now, well it still hurts a bit -- sometimes a lot, but I am now immune to the sting of the European honeybee. No real swelling or any other reactions.
This 'therapy' is contraindicated if allergic to ANY insect bites! Do NOT try it with any wasps! EpiPen (Adrenaline) use if indicated :-)
I once got stung on my upper arm by a honeybee; attracted to my deodorant I suspect. I had a lot of swelling/itching, but no serious reactions. I figured the bee therapy was therefore safe for me.
I recently had a honey bee get in my shoe. She stung me on my little toe! absolutely no swelling. Before desensitization my foot would have looked like an inflated surgical glove -- lol
It's free and works similar to a shot of cortisone IMO

Even better, the Celestial Seasonings "Sleepy Time Tea."
BTW: If afflicted with that horrid Adenovirus (dry ticklishly cough at night that can last 6 weeks) now going around: an ounce of Tequila Bianco with 1 tsp raw honey -- mixed well, heated for 12-15 sec in the microwave. That's good -- it's cough syrup on steroids -- LOL!
