Albietz JM, et al. (2017). Randomised controlled trial of topical antibacterial Manuka (Leptospermum species) honey for evaporative dry eye due to meibomian gland dysfunction. Researchers at Oxford University have found that honey does indeed relieve the symptoms of coughs and colds. A few monofloral honeys have been tested and found to be especially beneficial, in particular, manuka (though that does tend to come at a high price). There’s even medical-grade honey which has been approved for wound-care by the NHS. Hattie Ellis is the author of Sweetness & Light: The Mysterious History of the Honeybee and Spoonfuls of Honey
The mānuka tree is indigenous to New Zealand and some parts of coastal Australia, but is today produced globally. Used as a sugar substitute, it has a strong, earthy aroma and flavour. The word mānuka is the Māori name of the tree; however, as with many Māori words, the older spelling manuka (without a macron) remains relatively common in English. Hbibi, A, et al. (2020). Antimicrobial activity of honey in periodontal disease: a systematic review. In a 2017 lab study, Manuka honey with UMF 10+ and higher had increased antibacterial effects. UMF 20+ Manuka honey was also effective against drug-resistant strains of bacteria. Humans, insects and plants rely on each other to survive and thrive. Bees gather nectar from some two million flowers to make a single 450g/1lb pot of honey, each one making about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in a lifetime. Four-fifths of the world’s plants rely on pollination to reproduce, and at least one-third of the world’s food crops. We need bees – all types, not only honeybees – to buzz through the air and stitch together the fabric of the living world.a b Stephens, JMC; Molan, PC; Clarkson, BD (2005).

Honey adds another flavour dimension to sweet dishes. You could use it to replace a sugar-glaze on a yoghurt cake , or make it part of the syrup in a fruit salad. In honey cakes and bakes, it combines well with light brown sugar. Keep the temperature lower (about 25°C) than usual though because honey burns more easily than sugar. The queen’s DNA is no different from that of her worker-bee sisters; the only difference is environmental. The Queen Bee is selected before birth and her life starts with a special egg that hangs vertically, called the ‘queen cup’. Queen cups are a wax dome-shaped cups intended to contain an egg for the future queen. Worker bees build the queen cup when the previous queen becomes weak or when the colony gets too large for the hive. The Royal Diet Hussain, MB, et al. (2017).
