Yes, it is interesting.
Living in the mountains, I am blessed with the ability to get great local honey. Although it is not Manuka, it is some of the best honey I've had.
I haven't used sugar in decades, and use honey to sweeten my applesauce, herb teas, and really anything that I choose to use sweetener in.
There is an 80 year old gentleman that keeps bees, and for years he has been saying that he puts honey on his cuts.
Now I know why. Although I don't usually care to sweeten most foods, or beverages, I use the honey for its health benefits.
This time of year, I'm (hopefully) on the ice a lot, and I bring a thermos with a blend of herb teas, and a lot of honey.
I prefer the darker honey, usually from buckwheat around here. I never knew that the type of flower could affect the healing properties, though.
