Honey - "a sweet, sticky yellowish-brown fluid made by bees and other insects from nectar collected from flowers."
That is according to the Oxford Languages.
Many people love the rich golden substance because of its sweet taste which is a great substitute for sugar.
Although this prized liquid is popular for being used in food, it has numerous benefits that do not include eating.
Here are some benefits of honey you can enjoy without injesting it.
