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.

True, but the honey isn’t as sticky as the jelly or syrup.

The best breakfast is french toast with creamy peanut butter and honey....Mmm, Yummy! You have to put the peanut butter on when the french toast is warm so it melts in with the honey.
