Robin, KeithB. wants to hear the answer of "NO", so we understand that
research has not found anything yet.

I have faith that someday researchers will look earnestly at the components
of honey and find that missing link. Like I have stated before, the bees I
keep appear to keep themselves better on honey. That regardless as to
whether I know the difference or not.
