So, we all know that honey is sweet and produced by honey bees and derived from the nectar of flowers.  But, did you know some people using honey as a healing agent, or to help with seasonal allergies?  According to the United States National Honey Board there are tremendous benefits to honey that most of us are not aware of.

Do you eat honey?  How do you use it?  Please tell us what you think.  We want to know!

    I love using Honey in recipes for homemade facial masks and astringents! I also love it in my tea when I am sick!

    I wish that I knew more about honey. Of course, I'm aware of honey but, I just don't think to buy it for my family. If I knew more about the benefits, I would likely do so.

    Honey is just good stuff, my family loves peanut butter and honey sandwiches I put in in my tea and when my throat is sore I use hot water, lemon and honey it seems to work. As far as a suger substitute I personally don't care to use it that way. But I have made my own body scrubs using honey, sea salt and essential oils.

    We buy honey and use it in our tea, cereal, on toast, and with fruit. But, I would like to learn more about it and its uses.

    I always purchase local honey, I have heard that eating LOCAL honey helps reduce seasonal allergy symptoms for some people. Here is a website where you can type in your zip code and find local honey in your area. -----http://www.localharvest.org/organic-honey.jsp ------also another article on honey launderers and the bad honey coming to the US from China, ------http://insects.about.com/b/2009/07/16/why-you-should-buy-local-honey.htm. We use honey to make honey-mustard dipping sauce, use it a lot in the winter in hot tea, the Applebees oriental salad dressing, or drizzle plain honey on hot biscuits. Don't use it as a face mask anymore because the price of good local honey as gone up so much in the past few years.
