Post by: foxman on October 07, 2010, 04:22:12 PM
what is everyones opinion on honey? Other than the obvious, consumption for its yummines :-D, what else do you guys use it for? (madicinally, household use, etc)
thanks for the input im looking forward to hearing everyones opinion on the uses of honey :bee:


I apologize if this info is scattered across the forum elsewhere i am trying to create a consolodized list.
Note to admins: If this post belongs somewhere else please move it, this seemed the most logical place to me.

I know several horse owners that use honey in any type of dressings they apply to the horses for antiseptic.
