Honey: A Magical Mystery
Honey has been around for a long time – they say millions of years – and yet we know so little about it.
That’s why scientists and researchers are working hard to make new discoveries and to ensure the bees don’t disappear..
Honey is gathered from nectar of the blossoms of many flowers visited and pollinated by bees. It is then taken into the beehive and changed by the worker bees. Worker bees remove the liquid from the nectar.
The finished product is heavy syrup with 12 to 20 percent moisture and 80 to 85 percent sugar. It’s a good source of quick energy for the human body.

Honey as a Cough Remedy:
Honey has aided in bad coughing spells for years. An effective mix for coughing is to peel and finely chop one pound of onions. Add two ounces of honey and ¾ of a pound of brown sugar in two pints of water. Simmer gently over low heat for three hours. When cool, put in an airtight container and take four to six tablespoons a day. As in any illness, it is best to consult a doctor. It is also a mild laxative.
Honey for Allergies:
People have also boasted that chewing the thin wax cappings sliced from the comb of honey once a day for one month before the start of the hay fever season greatly reduces hay fever symptoms. Chewing these cappings has also helped sinus sufferers.
