” 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.
