In my opinion the type that tastes the best is “Fire Weed” honey.

Honey is also good to kill germs. Just put some on a band-aid, or plaster if your from England, and a cut heals up without a scar.

The ancient Romans used honey and silver staples to treat and close sword wounds after a battle.

Honey is also good to kill germs.

It has nothing to do with the source itself, just the sugar content. The high osmolality of any concentrated sugar has strong antibacterial properties when used in a wound. Maple syrup or even grape jelly will do the same thing.
