Just wanted to remind folks that children under 1 year of age shouldn't eat honey, because it can carry spores that cause infant botulism.

Interesting article that shows some USDA National Honey Board funded
studies have proven that honey is often better than cough syrup:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071203164750.htm
The study found that a small dose of buckwheat honey given before bedtime
provided better relief of nighttime cough and sleep difficulty in children
than no treatment or dextromethorphan (DM), a cough suppressant found in many
over-the-counter cold medications
This would be a good article to print out and keep with you when selling
your honey! :)
