"In my day there were two types of honey, hard and soft. Today there is such a variety and it's not only to be used on toast. As a pensioner, I can't get out much but if I am ever ill I always mix two spoonfuls of honey with a glass of milk, it really is a health cure. As for when I was younger, honey was used by all the girls - it's great for the libido"
Mrs B Eden

"Before I did the London Marathon I went on a sports nutrition course and was advised to eat honey on muffins for energy as a pre-training food and to eat honey on crumpets afterwards. The first thing I ate after completing the marathon was a honey and banana sandwich to replace the sugar I had used up through running."
Kate Freeman, 34

"At the end and the start of each day I always have a mug of herbal tea with a spoonful of honey... it's the best way to begin and end the day"
Mark McCartney, 29

"I always have a spoonful of honey before I go to the gym, it gives me an extra energy boost which means that I can exercise for that bit longer."

"We live in the Chilterns and my father is a chronic sufferer from hayfever. This year he started taking a spoonful of local honey each day from February. When it came to the high pollen season, which was at a particularly high level this year. My father, who would normally have been forced to take to his bed, barely suffered a sniffle. He has always been a honey lover, but his adoration is truly justified now!"
Merton Appleby, 25

"mmm, honey on warm baguettes was always a favourite breakfast when my family went on holiday, also lovely in a warm drink when I've got a cold, best with muffins or scones or just simply with toast or bread. "
Alexa Clarke, 22

"No home should be without a jar of honey. I start the morning with honey on my porridge, for lunch it's fruit, Greek yoghurt and a big tablespoonful of honey on top. At night a soothing glass of hot milk with honey helps you dream the night away! It doesn't stop there, honey mixed with oats makes a very good face pack and for medical purposes, honey mixed with lemon and hot water is very soothing for a cold or sore throat. There may be other uses which I cannot write of - it isn't called a 'Honeymoon' for nothing!"
Mrs Kay Daniel, 57

"I am 76 and have used honey all my life. I can't say whether its benefited me but it gives me great enjoyment and that's the main thing"
