True or false: Honey can heal wounds...
It begins when a honeybee stops at a flower and sucks out the sweet liquid nectar. She stores the nectar in a special sac called a honey crop, where enzymes break it down into simple sugars. Back at the hive, other bees move the nectar into honeycombs. They hover above the cells, creating a breeze that dries out the nectar until it becomes honey, and then seal the cells with wax. Bees visit 2 million flowers to make a pound of honey.
Honey contains pollen, and because of that, some people eat local honey for relief from hay fever and other allergies. The idea is similar to how allergy shots work. But the types of pollen in honey are rarely the types of pollen that make people sneeze or cause their eyes to water. The science is clear: Eating honey won't help most people with seasonal allergies.The use of honey to treat wounds and burns has been part of traditional medicine for centuries.
