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)"

Bengaluru, Jul 23: The Siddi community in Karnataka got its first lawmaker as Governor Vajubhai Vala nominated five persons, including Shantharama Budna Siddi, to the Karnataka Legislative Council on Wednesday.

The Siddis, an ethnic group in India, are said to have descended from the people of the East African region. They are included in the list of Scheduled Tribes (ST) in Karnataka.

Apart from the Shantharama, the inclusion of CP Yogishwar, who had left Congress to join BJP in 2017 but failed to retain his seat in the 2018 Assembly polls, is also considered as a big decision.

Adagur H Vishwanath, another former JDS leader, who had quit his party and joined BJP but failed to retain his seat has also caught the attention of the people.

Bengaluru, Feb 15: The Karnataka Legislative Assembly has decided to set aside two days - March 2 and 3 - for a special discussion over the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act continues across the country.

Assembly Speaker Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri told media persons here today that the Assembly would act as a platform for legislators to speak about the relevance of the Constitution and its contributions for the last seven decades. He had already held a round of discussions with senior legislators and all have expressed their willingness to participate in the debate. More details of the discussion would be worked out in the next few days after a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee of the House on February 18.

Asked whether it would be possible to have discussions rising above partisan politics in the present scenario, Mr. Kageri said “I have appealed to members to discuss the Constitution beyond the political prism.” Each member would be asked to speak on a specific topic of the Constitution.
