Bees are freakily phenomenal on their own. They are so productive, unique and inspiring that it's hard to not admire them as they go about their days. It's also hard to not shake a fist at all the misconceptions about bees spread by unknowing people and cartoon movie writers. Tsk, tsk.
The honey bees make is also a wonder of the natural world. Just look at it. Is there anything more versatile, more delicious, that doesn't go bad and that is potentially good for you? Sure, it's sweet and not great if you're avoiding sugar, but look at all its potential health benefits. Some say honey is better for a sore throat than typical medicine; I would have to agree. It's the first thing I reach for if I have one myself. Well, that and some hot tea to go with it.
Some argue that it's a good way to treat seasonal allergies, as long as you use local honey. Honey is good for the skin, for fuel, even for sleep! It might help with wound healing, hangovers and bug bites, too.
