I have added honey in my staple diet. I have it every day by adding it to hot milk.
It is quite strange that it is said that if honey is had in warm water it helps one lose weight but if it is had in milk one puts on weight. I have never understood the logic behind this. But one thing I do know and that is honey gets one’s instant energy. There is also so much being reported about the health benefits honey has when mixed with cinnamon. The link below has more information:

There was a time we could choose from so many natural aromas. The bees were reared in farms where a particular type of flower or fruit grew so that the honey got their typical aroma. Each of these aromas have special qualities but these days one never gets to taste them.
But these days one never hears of such things. I do take honey every day but it has no particular aroma. I am also not sure if it is pure although when I test it it feels t be real.
To ascertain whether the honey is pure a spoon of it is dropped in water. If it is pure it will not dissolve in water but settle down. Hopefully this should be a good test.
I see honeycombs in my garden now and then but I leave them there. I feel it is not right to disturb that honeycomb and extract honey from it as that will not be enough for consumption. That should be left for the bees. The way honey is extracted is also not the right way. The bees are killed by lighting fire to the beehive. This is a cruel thing to do. Also there is danger in that bee stings could be fatal.
If one wants to harvest honey there are better ways. There are artificial bee hives available where honey is extracted without harming the bees.

It's an irony that at the same time folks are beginning to learn about the health benefits of honey, other folks are having to make extra efforts to save the bees!
Bess are destroyed when extracting honey from beehives that one sees in small gardens. Commericially collecting honey is done where bees are not killed.
Using some sort of smoke would be a better idea to disperse the bees in this regard. Killing them is not recommended rather they must be saved so that they may prepare more honey. We must save them if we want to get honey. We must not be cruel to this little creature.
How much can one really get from those occasiona beehives that spring up in gardens. Best honey is available for regular consumtion. That honey should be left for the bees.
Honey is most useful for human health but honey must be wild honey nor of farm honey. I think these are ten most important benefits as
