I appreciate SURESH for highliting the positive of honey in Rigveda.. But I would also like SURESH to identify and research on what RIGVEDA says about oneness of GOD. instead of worshiping created thing and falling in DARKNESS unaware of the consequences on LIFE>
Please read the below and ponder which QURAN also speaks about ONENESS of God & Muslims stick to this one God concept which is also mentioned in Vedas..
Rig veda also says
Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata..
O friends, do not WORSHIP anybody but him, the Divine one, Praise Him alone. (Rigveda 8:1:1) 10
Devasya samituk parishtutih
Verily, Great is the glory of the divine creator\ (Rigveda 5:1:81)11...
Na tasya pratima asti - There is no image of Him (Yajurveda 32:3)5..
Shudhama poapvidham - He is bodyless and PURE (YV 40:8)6..
Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti muapaste - They enter DARKNESS, those who worship the natural elements. \"They sink deeper in DARKNESS, those who WORSHIP Sambhuti - (YV 40:9)7..
If U know who is this ONE god, U will surely stay away from worshiping the man made idols and Deceivers who cheat people in the name of GOD ."

In Rigveda, 1000-1500 BC, we find 1:90:6-8, prayer to sun:
Let every wind that blows drop honey, Let the rivers and streams recreate honey,let all our medicines turn honey,let dawn and evening be full of honey.let dark particles be converted into honey. So do other texts such as Atharva veda which speaks in length about bee.
In Ayurveda there are 8 different types of honey.
1) Makshikam- used in treatment of eye disease, hepatitis, piles,asthama, cough and tuberculosis.
2)Brhamaram - used in treatment when blood is vomitted.
3) Kshoudram - used in treatment of diabetes.
4)Pautikam - used in treatment of diabetes and urinary infections.
5)chathram - used in treatment of worm infestation,when blood is vomitted and diabetes.
6) Aardhyam - Effective for eye disease, cough and aneamia
7) Ouddalakam - Increases taste and swarasudhi, in treatment of leprosy & poisoning cases.
8) Daalam - it increases digestion and helps in treatment of cough,vomitting and diabetes.

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said:
Honey is the remedy for every ILLNESS
The QURAN is a remedy for all ILLNESS of the MIND.
Therefore I recommend to YOU both remedies
THE QURAN & HONEY.
When we ponder & research on it, We will get it right in this age of technology and can be proved scientifically... and those who researched it have proved that QURAN is the word of ALLAH (the only TRUE GOD who is worthy of WORSHIP).

Quran mentions about BEE.. There is a chapter named after it.
ALLAH, the all knowing says\And your Lord inspired to the BEE, \"Take for yourself and the mountains, houses, and among the trees and (in) that which they Construct. Then EAT from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down (for you). There emerges from their BELLIES a DRINK, Varying in colors, in which there is HEALING for PEOPLE. Indeed in that is a SIGN for a PEOPLE who thinks. (Ponder on God's creation)
Surah An Nahl(The BEE) ayath 68-69.
Thinkers should ponder on the ayats of the QURAN which guides the mankind... & it is the best blessing and a guidance to clear all doubts about our life in this world. Take a look at the QURAN (quranproject org)"
