So... can it make mead?
How do yeast do in that environment?

The only “food” science can’t copy.
I’ve always heard that bacteria won’t grow in honey. I guess the thing about this honey is it “kills” bacteria.

Unfortunately, it’s almost free.
Not much profit in free. :)

” The findings are likely to have a major impact on modern medicine and could lead to a range of honey-based products to replace antibiotic and antiseptic creams.”
While Manuka honey may be more effective to some particularly nasty bugs, plain raw honey has been known to be antibacterial for centuries. Well, at least it’s been known to “cure” cuts and the like even before we knew what bacteria were. Bee’s “hive glue”, propolis, is used as a tincture like iodine, and dissolved in water or alcohol and used as a gargle for sore throats. There is nothing new under the sun.

Manuka honey has been around for years...I used it for my sons acne..it kills staph and other skin infections.

The Bible has a verse that says:
“Eat honey, for it is good”.
I think it could be found using the right search.

I’ve wondered about this for years. Honey is the only food that doesn’t rot, ever. So it has something in it that keeps bugs away.
Humble bee spit. Sometimes the answer is right under our noses.

Yes, Manuka recommended in survivalists’ books forever. This is not news.

I drink honey and lemon at any sign of sniffles or sore throat.

It’s the only kosher food that comes from an unkosher animal (in this case, an insect).
