Honey Bee Medicine

Honey is a valued source among Native people. Much of the practice of honey bee medicine is kept secret and is very old. Even I, as a Native elder, and someone who is considered a traditional man keeping the old ways, I know very little about this medicine. I use it for respiratory issues and to battle a sore throat, mixing it with apple cider vinegar.
