You and I both know that honey comes from the honey bee. It has become an endangered species. So if you actually spent more money buying honey, you will be helping the honey farmers earn more to save more honey bees from potential extinction and also add nutritional benefits to your every day life. Honey in coffee is a good thing. I have liked honey on golden brown hot biscuits with melted butter since I was a young boy. There are a number of things honey can be used to help with colds and flu but mainly as a food source, honey is useful to give glazing to hams, added to toast and butter and used as a sweetener for hot tea and coffee. Butter and honey spread is easy to make at home using a microwave oven of low heat under a small sauce pan to give that added flavor on rolls or biscuits during breakfast and is much better than sugar. I like honey and will admit I don't use it as much as I should. I think I will start the new year by buying more honey and less sugar. What do you think about honey? Do you have a favorite brand? Clover honey from Texas is a local honey that sold in the stores in Dallas, TX. One site I think you will love to look at is below: Burleson's honey:
Burleson's Honey is the oldest and largest honey producer in the Southwest.

I became aware of the plight of the honey bee when my youngest son was one of 16 freshman at NC State chosen to take part in the Bee Phage Research Program. They were studying Colony Collapse Syndrome. His group was specifically looking at ways to kill mites that attack the bees, without killing the bees in the process. Running out of honey isn't the only crisis we face if the bees keep disappearing. Over 1/3 of the plants we need for food rely on bees and other pollinating insects.

Yep, our ecology would be in trouble if honey bees disappeared.

I love honey. Strange that I don't always keep it here. Also sad that bees have become endangered. Do they understand why?

For some reason, I have never liked the taste of honey. Once I began to cut sugar I found I didn't like the taste of it in things I used to pile it on

I love honey too. I don't use much but I just love the taste. I've heard people saying honey on hot water helps in fat reduction and honey on milk puts weight.. :-)

I love honey on toast. Honey is one of the products that are quite expensive here in Latvia. If we ever find some honey on sale we always pick up as much as we can.
