That also was known in the 80's, but the primary agent that does the job 
is the generation of peroxide at the wound/honey interface. No doubt you 
can classify honeys in a scale of amount of anti-bacterial agents, but 
sort of like saying I can add another anti-biotic to the number of pills 
you are taking when what you are taking is enough. Plus, the subject is 
wound healing, where the peroxide is predominate.
