WHY IS HONEY SO GLORIFIED?
(The many benefits of honey)

Honey has been used for a very long time trough out history in many cultures. It was used in Sumerian and Babylonian culture for treating wounds. In Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece was used as medicine, as a sweetener and in cooking. Romans also used it for cooking. Honey continues to be of importance all over the world to this day.
The reason for this is that the beneficial properties of honey for the human body are plenty. 

Honey has high levels of monosaccharide, fructose, and glucose, and it contains about 70 to 80 percent sugar, which provides its sweetness. Honey also has antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
