Interesting and well written. Bee venom also has some fascinating properties.
In ancient Egypt, honey's antibacterial properties was a military secret. Applying it to wounds meant many Egyptian soldiers who would otherwise have died from infections, didn't. This was a huge advantage they had over their adversaries.

Thanks,Quill, for that interesting add on to my post. I'll have to look into bee venom, I don't know much about it. Good for the Egyptians for using this natural agent for fighting infections.
