The thing I know is that medical professionals frown on feeding honey,
any honey, to children under the ages of 2-3.

However many of my neighbors are beekeepers and all have different
methods. I don't worry, they gift me honey in exchange for my crops.
I eat a lot of their honey and I'm still here. I like honey, I
consume a lot, I much prefer honey in my coffee rather than sugar.
I haven't had to buy any honey in 15 years.

Many of my neighbors make maple syrup, only I don't much care for
maple syrup, and I detest pancakes and waffles.
