Thank you Sharon I'm happy to share what I learn.
Larry you are correct in that the honey sold here in the stores is imported honey. US honey is exported to other countries. So if you want to be sure you are getting the best honey possible either set up your own hive or buy from a local beekeeper. All commercial honey is filtered which removes a lot of the beneficial properties. They filter it in order to keep it from crystallizing on the shelf.
Brenda it is benefical to animals as well as humans for the same reasons you just adjust the amount for their smaller size. I have two dogs who don't like honey and one who loves the stuff.
