 I wondered about that. There are bacterial cankers on things like
Walnuts, and Fire Blight on Pears and some other Rose family members and
some others, but even then you don't treat with antibiotics, at least not
that I've ever heard.

Streptomycin is commonly used for fireblight.

 Streptomycin has been found in U.S. honey.

The USDA is puzzeled by the finding as they say that Streptomycin does not
work for bee diseases.
