Apparently it contains enzymes which produce hydrogen peroxide which is antibacterial. All honey is antibacterial to some degree (helps protect the baby bees) but according to them this stuff is more so.


So if you are using it to dress infected wounds or cure botulism perhaps it is worth it.

its sugar


there is no bad or good sugar, there are just slighty different chemical variations of sugar.


whether is scraped off Lewisham street fighting and stabbing bees with a crack habit & TB or from pampered Overseas bees that live in 24 carat Gilded hives, there is no difference apart from taste.


The sugar in this honey is not more a cure all than a can of panda cola at the end of the day.


Go to the Wildlife garden in SE15. Buy Honey produced from their bees. sit back. enjoy.


dont believe the shopkeeper hype.

Or you could use a common or garden antibacterla topical cream.for about 1/1000 of the price, perish the thought.


If you dont believe in the healing properties of crude yet proven pharmacologiocal compounds, you could of course use magic heated stones, empowering crystals or any range of new age homeopathic toss to treat your wond

Honey can be used to dress wounds and it does stop them from getting infected to a degree because part of its natural function is to be slightly antibiotic.


Good tip if you are out in the wilderness, badly injured and still have the energy to smoke out a hive and harvest some wild honey.


Not some miracle cure thought that will be any more beneficial than some savlon or soap and water.


In general though I think most people stick to eating it rather than rubbing it on themselves to save on Elastoplasts.

I've a similar problem *Bob* but more in that Mrs Quids' credir crunch reaction to any blatantly expensive food product is to consider growing our own, so I'll keep the myth of the wonder of this stuff alive for fear of my last patch of ipod listening, stella drinking, sunbathing, garden being taken up by some Hives

Try the Mediterranean shop on LSL see if they stock Pure mountain honey from Crete it's produced in a careful and natural way and tastes delicious. It is also some times known as Greek Tymne honey. Essentially the cheaper honey has been made by assisting bees with their feeding by way of sugar solution so lacks any real flavor. Makuna is nice but pricey

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
