A New Zealand team has developed a honey product utilizing UMF (unique
manuka factor) manuka honey. This product has anti-bacterial properties
that withstand gamma radiation sterilization.
Tests are indicating growth inhibition of five types of bacteria.
  This appears to be a breakthrough in proving the healing properties of
some types of honey.

Could this same technology be applied to bee diseases such as American
Foul Brood?
