Getting up there toward retirement age, last year I went to the doctor for a general physical, not
having had one for many years. As we chatted during the exam, I mentioned to the doctor that I
kept bees as a hobby, and I asked him about the healing properties of honey.  He said since there
is very little ‘free water’ available in supersaturated solutions such as honey, bacteria are killed by
dehydration. He told me supersaturated solutions of table sugar in water will accomplish the same
thing.
