I have begun an apiary in my coffee farm in the Atitlan zone of Guatemala. So far, we have had problems for lack of training. Our beekeeper was our administrator�s father and he died last year. Vandals knocked over our hives at one point (think I can name the head of that little gang). Now we are struggling to get our operation functioning properly. We are sending a person to the government training center for several weeks, and I have offered land for them to build a new installation in our farm. I am waiting for my license from the Ministry of Agriculture to extract honey, pollen, royal jelly, and all other products that they license, although I have very little idea how to do any of it YET! Hopefully by this time next year, you will be talking about me!

I have replaced ALL refined sugar, and other sweeteners eg. maple syrup, coconut sugar etc. in my family's diet with honey. I am making amazing guilt free desserts, and savory dishes using honey. My favourite at the moment being sweetened condensed milk using coconut cream and honey. That's it. Simmering away for a couple of hours and turning into a rich caramel like substance! YUM. I want to make a pecan pie with it - but - I can't see that happening with this batch - every time I go to the fridge - it disappears 1 spoonful at a time :) "Ahhh.... my sweet honey. What will I make from you next?"

I love RAW HONEY and enjoy the information on your website, but unfortunately your company is in Singapore . We found a local company in NJ that sells raw honey and local raw honey mixed with beneficial herbs and spices like ginger, black cumin (sativa nigella), cayenne pepper, and others. They also have a product where you can customize your raw honey by mixing it with three herbs and spices of your choosing! We have ordered from this place several times and LOVE the fast service and superior quality of the product! Visit www.sahabisweets.com for more info and PLEASE keep posting wonderful information on the benefits of honey : )!

| A few weeks back I had a tooth that became infected. This began on a Friday. Found a dentist on a Friday.I tried peroxide but in three days I got no relief. Sunday night I took 1 Tbls of local honey and again Monday morning. By 10:00 am I could feel the swelling and pain reduce. One more Tbls. Monday night and the infection was gone.

I have long been including honey in my diet either as a sweeteener for my lemon juice, ginger tea, and other teas. It gives so much more pleasant taste in addition to the real energy-booster enzymes that I get from honey. My vegetable dishes also get a tablespoon or two of honey and really the tastes are much better than the artificial food-taste enhancers available commercially.

Hello, my name is Yolanda and I have a scalp condition, which in layman's terms means that I have an overgrowth of yeast in my hair which causes my scalp to itch real bad and my hair fell out in the infected areas at the crown of my hair. Well my sister and her husband told me about the cinnamon and honey paste. I began using it in conjunction with cayenne pepper, olive oil, sea salt and purified water. Well, the first time I used it my scalp tingled and burned a little. After about four hours the buring stopped. I left the cayenne pepper mixture in my hair while at work. When I got home I rinsed it out and put the mixture of honey and cinnamon on my hair and rubbed it into my scalp. My scalp has never felt better, not to mention my hair was squeeky clean. My scalp felt cool and like it was breathing again. The itching went away. My hair feel soft and silky with a natural shine that I have not seen in years. My hair smells wonderful and I feel refreshed everytime I use it. It's like I am completely clean from head to toe. This mixture of honey and cinnamon along with the cayenne pepper did for my scalp what none of the tradtional medicines prescribed to me by the doctor could do...I simply recommend it not only for medical reasons but as a regular treatment for healthy hair as well.

I had a bad sore throat and all I had was a jar of manuka 100+ honey from Bluehills in Tasmania, Australia.
I took a big tablespoon of the honey and swallow it slowly, leaving it to sit at the throat. I had a glass of warm water after say twenty minutes. After two days, my throat was fine....no doctor, no medicine but manuka..

I am a new beekeeper and LOVE honey - and that was our main reason for starting to keep them. I make a batch of honey and add cinnamon. I use this in hot teas, on oatmeal, etc. Great way to add health benefits and flavor to pretty much anything where a little sweetness is wanted.

I got to experience how a local farmer takes out honey from hives. It might not sound cool, but I'm still so excited I got the chance to. The farmer's name is Carlos Luis, probably the nicest man I've ever met and he's kept bees for over 30 years. And at the time, it was especially unheard of around here but it's provided quite a bit for his family. His youngest son Luis Andres was in my community high school course for the four months it was held and always a pleasure to be around. So getting a peak into how he's spent a lot of his time was really nice.
So I was still recuperating from a bacteria in my stomach when Carlos Luis calls Ernesto's house to invite me over.
I found that they smoke the crates as they open them and all throughout to calm the bees so that they don't get upset. Apparently the cells in the middle are usually used to harvest the babies and towards the outside the honey. The top boxes in the stacks are also more likely to have honey and the lower ones babies. So they go through each box verifying each cell and placing the ones with honey in another box they take to the house. So we did that until sunset, well actually they did. Luis Andres spraying them with smoke from a little puffer that they put little bits of wood in and light on fire. Carlos Luis checking each cell and switching them to the other box.
We cut up some of the panels into blocks that they give as gift to people who chew on the wax to get all of the honey out. It's honestly too sweet for me to eat such big chunks of. Then we scrape off the outer layers of wax to then put the panels in this spinning contraption with four panels in each and spin it to get the honey out. Then, they let all of the honey settle and drain it through a fine cloth. They bottle the honey in gallons or about 21 oz bottles and sell that smaller bottle for $6 each. It's pretty expensive actually, well comparatively. So for those 2-3 hours of work they make a good bit. But they're still one of the humblest families I know. They're comfortable enough to send their oldest son to college and hopefully Luis Andres is on his way there too.
I might be excited since I just got the coolest package from Jessy, but still, the time I spent with them was so great. He just knew so much about every aspect of his job and it still excites him. He's also a coffee/banana/basically anything farmer. I guess most farmers around here are always excited to tell me about their jobs. That's the beauty about living a life you love. Having a huge grin ear to ear talking about your job even after working it for over forty years. I hope I can find that...

Hi there, I am Oularia a mother of two daughters. Honey is really a wonder. I have used it so many times on my face and it really works, my skin is so smooth and soft. It can also be used together with lemon. I use Honey to also treat common colds for my kids. I simply blend the red onion, lemon juice and add Honey with a bit of warm water and this is the made home made remedy for my kids. There are a lot of benefits in using honey and I thought of just sharing a few with you. I have also used honey on my scar I had on my leg, it lightened the scar that it goes un-noticed.

I used honey in my tea, because sugar is too sweet, and artificial sweetener upsets my stomach. I also use honey on pancakes, biscuits, and french toast. As I get older, everything tastes too sweet if it contains sugar. So honey is a great alternative.

I live in a small town in Polk County, Ga. USA and I love honey. I have always liked honey even in my youth but later in life I fell in LOVE with Honey. My daughter tried 'beekeeping' for a while and then had to drop out because of health reasons. I picked it up from her and even though I do not do the beekeeping, I sell local honey from the local beekeepers. I enjoy telling others of the health benifits of honey and enjoy selling honey.

Using Warm Milk & Honey to Treat Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Honey has amazing anti-bacterial properties. Making an eyewash with warm milk and honey can help to soothe and treat conjunctivitis. Use equal parts of both honey and milk, making sure the milk is warm (not boiling). Mix together the remedy and keep stirring until the honey becomes smooth in the milk. Use an eyedropper and drop 2-3 drops into your eye several times a day. Alternatively, you can use this mixture as a compress. The anti- bacterial properties in the honey and the soothing effects of the milk will start to work immediately and within 24 hours your pink eye should be cleared up.

The best honey experienced I had I for my flu, as you know, many flu bugs and viruses spread around during winter , one night I had really bad sore throat till it hurts a little when I turn my head during sleeping . So, for consequences 2 morning after breakfast and drinking , and before bed time as well, I put a spoonful of manuka honey in my mouth and let it melt slowly down to my throat. It really soothed the pain and my sore throat cures in no time , compared to drink cough syrup. Now that I saw the recipe for weight loss using in conjunction with cinnamon, just started three days ago, I hope will really works ! =)

I have been taking 2 tspns honey to help me sleep at night, but now someone has told me that it will cause cavities. I sleep well, and would like to recommend it for my grandson who is 4 never sleeps through the night. Can someone tell me if it will cause cavities? Also I want to use it to help OT's acid reflux problems. Can anyone recommend dose please? (he hates honey!!) I also drink honey & cinnamon tea. Very refreshing.
Jano, Australia

Ruth: Jano, anything sweet, including honey, can cause cavities. But it's not difficult to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth before bedtime, after you have taken the honey.
Honey before bedtime can help in treating acid reflux. For adults take a tablespoon of honey, and young children 1-2 teaspoons.
Adding cider vinegar to your honey is also known to be an effective remedy for acid reflux. Ref: Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey Cure Many Ills

When I got sick and had a sore throat when I was little my mother would always give me warm honey and milk to drink. It has always made me feel better, and now that I'm older I still make it for myself, but not only when I'm sick. I also drink it when I want to relax before going to sleep. bIt is tasty and always does the trick.
Also, my family are all big Winnie the Pooh fans, to the point that my mother has a Winnie the Pooh cookbook that has lots of awesome recipes that all of course involve honey. My favorite recipe from it thus far is peanut butter, honey, and bacon sandwiches. They sound kind of odd, but are actually really good. I love trying out new recipes, especially those that include honey.

Mix well in blender or handheld high speed mixer. I haven't had a cold in two years, incredible energy boost and actually have lost about ten pounds that I attribute to this shake curbing my appetite an avoiding mid-day snacks.

I use honey as a skin treatment on my face and it softens, helps heal acne, and after a few weeks of using honey and raw olive oil as a cleansing wash instead of store bought soap my skin is much improved! I mix one part honey and one part oil and use it as a cleanser by massaging it onto my face(I rub it over my entire face including my eyelids and ears!! It sometimes stings but when i rinse it stops) I then rinse it off to remove dirt and impurities and reapply and leave it on for 30 minutes as a mask. My hands are also much softer! Honey also eventually helps with scaly skin, redness, and it even brightens the skin tone!
I also notice that when I use the mask my eyes feel less tired.
I use it instead of refined white sugar and it does not make my tummy hurt like white sugar can.
I make yummy energy bars by mixing honey, agave nectar syrup, organic peanut butter, sunflower seeds, flax, raisins, chopped dates, organic puffed rice cereal, and granola. These give both immediate and long lasting energy! Sometimes I will add organic chocolate for a very special treat!
Even though honey gives me energy, it also sweetens my nighttime chamomile tea but does not keep me up like white sugar would!
I have used honey on burns with great success! Honey soothes and heals :)
I love honey! Bees are a gift from God :)

I suddenly remembered when I was a little girl the time I had a cough and my Grandmother gave me a spoon of honey instead of cough syrup. At the time I was so happy for getting the honey, my Grandmother was happy the cough stopped without medicine! I took a tablespoon of honey and it worked! I now keep some in the house on reserve if my grandchildren are staying with me and not feeling well.

Coming from a family of 3rd generation beekeepers, I have been exposed to honey and the process of beekeeping since an early age and have participated in various techniques and honey packaging, tasting and cooking. Throughout my life it has been by far the best source of instant energy and has many benificial health benifits, an example of how honey can improve and sustain life, energy and over-all good health is the life of my grandfather, 84 years old and still physically working the bees.

I was very ill with Bronchitis just this week. I don't like to go to the Dr. if I can get out of it.
My next door neighbor had the same thing and her Dr. gave her Antibiotic, but told her to take 2 TBSPs of Honey every 8 hours. Said he does and it works. Her Antibiotic did not do anything. But the honey worked for her. I was getting worse so I decided to try the honey. She said it worked better with 1 TBSP every 4 hours so I did it. This is the 4th day since becoming ill and I feel so much better!! Sinuses and cough and congestion has greatly decreased. It is amazing!!!

I get to use honey whenever we can afford it. It is quite expensive (i.e. original honey) but when we buy the EU ones which are usually the best options, my husband drops sugar and uses it all up.
I have 2 reasons I love using honey.
1) I am muslim and we are told in our holy book that it their is healing in the bellies of bees.
2) When I had my first child, I had breastfeeding problems and the hospitals here don't have milk banks. I wanted something nourishing and I wasn't crazy about formulas so I decided to use honey and water because I believed in it as medicinal. My sister who is a doctor said no honey before first year, I also read it but I was desperate! I fed my baby honey water till she was about five months then introduced cereals. Nothing went wrong with her and she has been my biggest baby so far. The best part of it is that she has never been down with a cold (maybe a cough in harmattan) but nothing serious that I'd have to take her to hospital. This, I attribute to her honey intake as a neonate.

I got used to taking honey in good quantities after undergoing stomach ulcer surgery in 2003. The healing properties in honey worked magically on the wound and it healed up faster than imagined. It's wonderful using honey as food and nutrition supplement.

Honey is my favorite sweetener, as well as an excellent remedy for so many things in our home. Anytime a sore throat begins, I will make a tea of honey, fresh squeezed lemon and Ginger and sip it several times a day. It works wonders. I've used it in bed sores, covering with a tegaderm and watched them heal. We use raw honey as long as we can find it. My favorite honey ever tasted was in Ecuador, where it was made from the incredible wild flowers there. Oh how I'd love to have more of that!

Being new to the world of honey, I am constantly seeking alternatives to sugar. My favorite recipe to date is to puree one avocado, add 3 tbl honey and 3 tbl cocoa power (high quality) ... this is a very rich desert that I can only eat a small amount at a time to satisfy my chocolate need while staying away from processed foods. Yum!

I grew up on a farm in Ohio and my father always had honey bees. Honey has been a part of my diet as long as I can remember. I am a fitness enthusiast, I just really enjoy it. I am by no means a giant of a man, about 6 ft 225 pounds,I have about 6 % body fat.I have had great success in athletics. My preworkout? 2-3 tablespoons of honey and the juice of a whole lemon. Things I have done athletically well, I have powercleaned 405 pounds, deadlifted 600 lbs, sqauted 700, benched 365, I can run a 4.4 second 40 yard dash, and I have run a total of 35 miles at one time. Obviously I work at these things, and I grew up working very hard on a farm. I also think honey has played a part in it, it does increase the blood flow in the body and honestly I have always thought of it as a magical compound. I take it before every workout and every rugby game.

I started using honey in the 1970's as friends of mine kept bees. We would stop by in the afternoon for tea and coffee and my friends only kept a bowl of honey on the table, no sugar or sweetener. The taste was terrific in tea or coffee, and my friend used honey in all her recipes instead of sugar. I got in the habit of sweetening drinks with honey and later got a few others to do the same. Since then I have used honey in many recipes and continue to do so.

I have started using Australian wild honey in recipes in leiu of sugar and have found the results most satisfactory. The finished dish or cake is not too sweet, but has that delicious mellow honey flavour of the wild honey in the dish and is of course much healthier I believe. I usually use a tablespoon of honey in lieu of the sugar and mostly wotk by trial and error, usually with the required results. I am getting more adventurous and using honey wherever I can, avoiding sugar altogether.

Honey is an excellent remedy for irritable eyes. I have proven it repeatedly. Method: Mix 1 tsp of honey with 1 tbsp of warm water and rinse infected eye. Repeat this in the a.m. and p.m. for 2 days and you will see the difference. Your eyes will be rid of cold and redness.
Dropping undiluted honey directly into your eyes is the perfect way but it burns.
Recently, I was getting "red-eye" and I used undiluted honey in the a.m. and p.m. for 3 days and it was gone whilst another co-worker was off the job for 2 weeks.

Honey has always been my sweetest accomplice in my culinary recipes or home-made face-packs due to it's easy availability in most countries and long shelf life. Also it's usability in normal state, just pour some from the bottle and simply use it! I love to make a tea using honey and cinnamon for many health benefits. Also a face-pack using honey, chick-pea paste and lemon is my favourite for all weathers for a glowing look! Truly honey's my best loved ingredient from the kitchen for it's taste, medicinal property and beauty treatment.

When I eat some raw honey just a little while before doing my workouts with weights and other activities (about 2 tbsp at a time), it doesn't actually make me feel more energetic to begin with (the motivation is mine), but helps reduce that feeling of fatigue during and after. Thank God for all the good things.

I was diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes in January 2012 and my blood sugar levels were very high. I started using honey as a sugar substitute straight away. I use it in tea, oatmeal(grits) and whatever needs sweetening. My sugar level has gone down dramatically with the honey and tablets.of cause.
My husband, who is very supportive, has made banana-bran muffins with honey and they are delicious. I don't miss out on eating cake and muffins because with honey they are just as tasty and healtier.
Honey and lemon are very good for sore throat and cough. I have used it for myself and my children with very good results.
I suffered many years with sinusitis and since I started using honey it's like I never had the problem.
Honey is the way forward. I will recommend it to all my family members and friends - diabetic or not.

One of the great benefits that we enjoy when adding honey to our diet is weight loss. Honey can help with weight loss when it is used as a way to replace other types of sweeteners. Instead of adding sugar to drinks or cereals, we just add honey instead. But we use it sparingly to cut down on calories.

One day my face was very red and irritated and after cleansing my skin with a gentle cleanser - I placed a thin layer of pure clover honey on my face and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Even though it was sticky, it came off easy as I gently wiped it off with a warm, wet wash-cloth. My face felt moisturized and the dermatitis (red-inflamation) went down a little. I repeated this activity the next morning and my face looked even better. The honey calmed, soothed, de-inflamed and moisturized my skin!

I am 17 yrs old... and all i think about is having perfect beauty. I didn't use to like my skin it was rough, my mom says your skin will start smoothing at the age of 16..then when i reached it was all same. I asked my mom to suggest me some remedy as she was having beautiful skin then she gave me idea of HONEY!!! She always go for home remedy as according to her it is the best because it didn't deal with chemicals and is friendly with our skin. I followed her as she says. First, in my milk instead of sugar she started adding honey though i hate it but i drank somehow thinking it will help me. Also every night before i sleep she ask me to clean my face with curd and honey mixture. I did this every night. Now i am 17 and trust me my skin is 2 times smoother now.. and above all it glows too :) :). Thanks to mum and her remedies..It really works guys. ;)

I have had a lot of experience with honey since I was born. I remember when I was young, less than 3 years, my grandmother used to feed me with honey in the hills of Nyika National Park. All we had for wounds treatment was honey.
When I grew up and got a degree in Science I remembered honey again. My wife and I were involved in an accident and honey was our medicine in treating the wounds. At one time I suffered stomach pains and I was told I have deep wounds- ulcers and I was admitted for one week. I was given a lot of artificial medicines but they did not work. I remmebered honey and today I no longer suffer from stomach pains. I use honey daily and whenever I have a sore throat or cough.
I grew up in a community that Honey was part of our food.

Well, I love honey because it is very nutritious and taste lovely. I usually take 1 spoonful of honey in the morning and it makes me feel fresh and energetic. I also use honey mask to cleanse and clear my face. Most of all, as a Muslim, there is a specific surah in the Quran which called 'The Bee', that also explains about the honey it produce. Our prophet, Muhammad, also mention in his hadith about the benefit of honey to human's health.

All I knew of honey is 'spread it on bread' until I decided to stop using sugar & sweeteners but still craved sweetness. Friend said add lemon or lime juice or any fresh juice or just hot water. No change for 10 days then WOW. Craving had gone, at least 5lbs had gone and I felt rejuvenated which is good as I am 78 years old and help look after my 11 yr.old grandson. It's a daily habit now and I just love the taste.

Its always difficult to properly sweeten things you crave as a diabetic. Recently I was advised by an old lady at the clinic I attend to use honey and after I became OK with the taste, I found that things I mixed it with (tea, coffee, brkf cereal, etc) seemed lighter, and I sleep a lot better. I am also more calm and have a lot more energy. It also suppresses my appetite somewhat so my cravings have dropped. I'm still struggling with chocolate though. My mom thinks I have a new girlfriend!!!

I am 55 yrs old, 1.63 m tall and 104 kg - obviously overweight, hinging on obesity!
On Saturday I went to the clinic to get treatment for a cough. Routinely I was checked for High Blood Pressure. I was shocked to find that my BP was in frightening figures - 150/90! The nurse immediately wanted to put me in depressants.
My housemate who had accompanied me suggested that before I could go on that medication couldn't I be observed for at least 4 days. Bless him!
The nurse agreed on the condition that I go for checks every day. Immediately my friend took me to the local supermarket and we bought some honey, vinegar and cinnamon. He started to treat me on recipes containing these three treats.
He encouraged me to reduce on fatty foods just for the four days! I am glad to inform you that I have now lost taste for sugar and other foods that I greatly cherished. I can't get enough of honey - and , yes my blood pressure was checked yesterday and the results were amazing - 120/80!
I know I will have to work on my weight, and with the positive encouragement from my housemate and the all the honey recipes I am sure I am on the way to recovery and discovery of a wonderful healthy me.

Just a question, would the body be resistant to its effects if I take it habitually? Thanks!
J Larry Corpuz, The Philippines

Ruth: Hi J., you probably have honey as a medicine in your mind when you asked that question. If you are referring to the honey water fast, perhaps you can do it once a month as a start. When you see honey as a superior form of sugar, you would know what to do with it. The idea is to replace refined and artificial sugar with honey in our diet as much as possible, example in sweetening our coffee/tea, lemonade, salad, marinating food, baking, etc. Just as there are good and bad fats, there are also good and bad sugars, and good and bad calories.

I never even tried honey before I was 40 years of age. I now know I really have been missing out. From eating raw honey, to incorporating honey in recipes, to replace the processed sugar. There really is no substitute. I now incorporate honey into everything by replacing part of the sugar with honey as it is healthier, and tastes better. Long live the bees, and the beekeepers, and long may we have honey!!

I don't know if I can completely blame it on the honey or not, as I am on a weight loss journey. I've added walking to my daily life, eating more fruit and vegetables, and trying to make healthier choices. One of my more recent changes is using honey as a sweetener for both cooking, and in my tea. I've lost almost 10 pounds in the last month since making this change. I feel like I have more energy, and a better complexion since I've started using honey rather than refined sugars :)

Because it is well documented that refined sugar is very unhealthy I have gradually weaned myself off from sugar and replaced it with honey for almost all my sweetening needs--in drinks, recipes, and desserts. Also, through most of my adult life I've struggled with bad breath. I can eliminate bad breath with cooked red cabbage, apple cider vinegar and honey.

Hello
I cut my finger quite badly, and my husband said it needed stiches, I remembered reading that tumeric powder and honey eased the pain and helped with healing. This I did while still bleeding sprinkled the tumeric powder heavily on the cut and used Manuka honey/I applied this for about 2 weeks covering the wound each time.
There is a light scar left, I had very little pain and I think the healing is wonderful. I would recommend this for any wounds.

I have been using honey and lemon very much of late. For me it has become a delicacy I enjoy mostly in the evenings before going to bed. I did not start drinking this because someone told me about the health benefits of honey. I started earlier on drinking tea with lime and discovered that I was relieved of respiratory difficulty in my sleep. I started using lemon instead of lime and felt much better and also enjoyed it better. When I added honey, I discovered I was not getting the usual breathing problems in my sleep. I also realized that my weight was stabilized. I am glad to know of the additional health benefits.

I've been using raw honey in my coffee and teas for several years. I can't remember what those drinks taste like with refined sugar. I have moved onto drinking apple cider vinegar + honey + real lime juice twice a day and it gives me much pleasure in the taste as well as knowing it is doing my internals good. Have just been given a story about Honey and cinnamon so this is the next adventure using honey. The best honey I have used is Manuka honey from New Zealand.

Wish I could show pictures because my family can not believe it! Especially my husband and sister who were here when I cut it off. I have thrown out all of those nasty triple antibiotic creams and now just keep little jars of honey where I use to carry them. Honey is amazing!!

Just briefly, the use Honey is as a matter of emphasized religious faith. Honey is proclaimed as "A Cure & Healing "Shifaa" for All the People" in what Muslims believe to be the final revelation, The Last Testament of God Almighty (Allah) revealed to the final Messenger and Apostle (May Peace and Blessing be upon him).
Without saying any more, we literally use HONEY as per revealed Word of God and Sayings and Teaching of the Last Messenger for countless physical, health and spiritual benefits. For the Believer, in Heaven there will literally be streams / rivers of Honey in everyone's Heavenly Estates in Paradise with Palaces and Gardens beyond our imagination.
Just to share only a few of my/our own practical uses… (and irrespective of who says otherwise) we know as a fact, HONEY WORKS.
1. A delicious, safest, comparatively more economical alternative to baby formula when mother's milk is low. Just mix pure spring water (or ZamZam from the Well that sprang forth as a result of the Pilgrimage and sacrifices of the Apostle Abraham's wife - that's another story altogether) and let your baby enjoy a toxin-free/side effect free substitute for mom's supply ran short.
2. An excellent toothpaste and mouthwash, especially for small kids or Elderly people with Dementia / Alzheimer's. NO problem if you accidently or intentionally swallow a little of a lot or all. NO "Bad" BACTERIA can live in honey and even if you goes into the stomach - better yet, it can sort out a few things down there too.
3. Honey and warm water on an empty stomach when/if you wake up in the late night before dawn is an excellent routine for easy/clean detox and high energy with mental alertness thorough out the day.
4. I recall travelling to a foreign country with others and everyone caught what is called the "Pink Eye". The majority used some pharmaceutical prescribed for this and I and a few others simply put a drop of honey in each eye. The former group suffered with "Pink Eye" for several weeks but for me and the crew that used honey the problem was solved in minutes.

Hi, I have been using honey for many years now after I read about honey qualities mention in the bible: "My son, eat you honey, because it is good." (Proverbs 24:13)
I have found honey to be a miracle food, and poosibly the only food that has been unchanged since the Garden of Eden. We buy our honey by the 20kg drum, because all of my children love honey as a natural sweetener... "because it is good."

I am quite recent in the BEE world, but bees are quite inspiring for me. I am tasting as many types of honey as I can, and the best part, is that honey is definitelly part of my life. I use it raw and other hive products as royal gelly in my diet. The last recipe I have done were flamed shrimps with hydrohoney = the goods`drink. It was delicious.
The best way to start a day, is to eat Honey at breakfast, used in as many ways as your creativity and preferences allows you; this guarantees a day start full of taste and energy. My favourite is greek yougurt with fresh fruit covered with honey.And the best way to end a streessy day, is a glass of hot milk with honey.
Honey, cannot live without it in my life.
Thank you bees for producing this golden treasure.

A few years back I took my young wife and son to live in a country town about 50kms north of Melbourne.
And then one day a swarm flew into our back-yard, and stayed. I eventually got them into a box, and they began doing their thing and producing honey.
It wasn't all that great initially, when the hive was just in the back-yard and the bees were feeding in the private gardens of the town.
But when I moved them a short distance away, outside the town and close to a stand of manna gums, they produced some really fantastic, high-quality honey.
It was quite dark in colour, and thick, even though I'd extracted it cold.
But the flavour was magnificent and I've been a honey lover and bee enthusiast ever since.
I'm sorry that the Singapore authorities don't let you have bees. I figure orchid honey might be quite tasty.

I had had pain in both feet for about a year to the point that I could hardly get out of bed in the mornings. I saw an email regarding the use of unpasturised honey with powdered cinnamon as a tea twice a day. I tried it and 3 weeks later, the pain had entirely left and now, 2 yrs later, I am still pain free and I had stopped making this tea shortly after the pain had left. I am a nurse and when I get the opportunity to share this story with any of my patients as a recommendation before the use of a pill, I certainly push for the uses of honey !!!!!! The recipe for the tea if anyone is interested is: 1 tablespoon of unpasturised honey with a 1/4 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon in a
tea cup with hot water ( I usually put a squirt of lemon in ) and take this 2 x/ day.

I started a week ago taking two tea spoons of honey with a cup of hot water in the morning and before bed time I have lost 3 pounds and I sleep much better. Being in the pre-menopause years sleep is deprived, I would really recommend this to people who are trying to lose weight and have a hard time sleeping.

My son had some sore on his leg, I have treated it with a lot of drugs but it just did not heal. I then took him to a very good hospital and I was surprised when the doctor (pediatrician) suggested that I clean the sore with savon mixed water and thereafter apply some honey on the sore. It's just one day after I took my son to the hospital and started the Honey/savon treatment. The sore had dried up! And guess what? I am so excited. I am going to start trying the honey on my face to see if my face becomes free of acne and pimples.
Will keep you posted.

6 years ago when my daughter was 4, she had this persistent cough for over 4 months. I gave her cough suppressant weekly. It helped her cough but never really cured. Whenever we stopped using cough suppressant, her cough came back. My husband and I was on constant battle about cough suppressant until we came across an article on the power of honey. Within a week cough disappeared. My daughter fall in love with honey and has been drinking big glass of honey water daily. It's been 6 years, she never had to take any medicine. I am so thankful that honey is widely available. Thank God!!

I smashed my thumb badly with a hammer and didnt go to the doctor. Within a week my thumb was so badly infected that the smell was unbearable from the infection. I started using honey on it and the infection and pain went away and the thumb healed to perfectly normal.

I am a shift worker working very inhospitable hours. Sleep deprivation is something I have put up with for a long time. Then I discovered if I had 1 -2 teaspoons of honey immediately before going to bed - the quality of my sleep was greatly enhanced. I had tried tart cherry juice previously - which is very expensive...I believe honey is as effective - if not even more effective than the tart cherry juice.

Father kept bees. When he passed away, honey was found in abundance so I had to learn to cook using it so it didn't waste. Love its taste.

I have a weak constituent and am generally susceptible to cold and flu. Some years ago I read in the Quran (16:69), that honey brings health. So I have been regularly taking honey for the last 5 years. All praise to God, since then I have not fallen ill and am enjoying an all round excellent well being. It's almost magical and did I mention very cheap too as I did not resort to use any expensive special grade honey other than those generally found in the local supermarket.

I am crazy about being in shape and keeping healthy and slim, I have always had trouble sleeping and this has become apart of my everyday routine (honey). I read the article about how honey helps you sleep and how important it is for your body/ metabolisim if you get he recommended hours of sleep (8), ever since I have incorporated honey into my daily diet and life style I have noticed the changes in my mood, body and health due to having honey in the morning and before bed, this magical natural sweater is a life saver for my body and health.

I had read about a "buckwheat" honey was good for coughs. I recently had triple by-pass heart sergury and one thing that is hard on you afterwards is coughing.and buckwheat honey was good for that. I went through two jars and wouldn't drink anything unless it had that honey in it and never had a coughing problem and when I did I just drank some of that honey in something like my coffee.

I cut two fingers off March 2011. After returning from emergency room for surgery, I came home, soaked fingers in honey, did this every day morning and evening, returned to doctor 2 weeks later. Doctor asked what I had been doing, he told me to continue doing it.
Hurt worse when taking stitches out than the whole 2 weeks. Honey works.

They say there is no cure for the common cold but there is certainly a prevention. I used to get a cold and flu several times a year and they were very intense. Since I've been taking honey I have not had a cough, flu or a cold and it's been fifteen years. I eat healthy also but honey is the prevention...

I switch to honey 3 years ago, no more sugar, I use it with tea and lemon, I used to get sick a lot, cold, flue etc, now If I get a cold, it is mild and sometimes gone in a few days. my body stronger and I feel great. I also used Manuka honey for my stomach acid flux, and it cured it in 2 weeks, make sure you take manuka honey with a piece of fruit or on a bread 20 minutes before eating a meal, it is magic, you feel the improvments with in hrs.

I have been taking honey for some three months and noticed in myself how well I was feeling. Other people have commented on how well I look I shall continue to take it as I believe it has much benefit which could help with my blood pressure issues and raised cholestrol.I will actually monitor my health much more than I have been I also have noticed the vitamin content which is another reason to take it other than its a natural product.

I have been taking raw honey from local honey far, I live in Seattle Washington, I have been taking the honey for a long time but I did not had any physical benefits taking raw honey, I think I have gained weight due to large amound of sugar content of sugar. Many people saying, help joint pain, ulser, etc.
Is there a real truth about honey benefit ?

Ruth: Jason, from "the large amount of sugar content" that you mentioned, it seems that you might have excessively eaten honey, which is not wise at all. The principle of weight gain is very simple: When you eat more than what your body needs, regardless of whether it is sugar, fat, milk, or honey, the excess calories are stored as fat which leads to weight gain. For good health, replace refined and processed sugars with a natural sugar like honey. For healing, eat honey like a medicine.

My sister is 3 years younger than am and she has bas arthritis and she drinks honey and vinegar every day to ensure that she can get out of bed. She was in such bad health that the day she turned 40 she sat on the bed crying to me that she never thought she would live that long. Now at the age of 54 I am looking for all the advantages of honey and vinegar for me.
