Bees are often killed in the production of honey, in the worst case the whole hive may be destroyed if the keeper doesn't wish to protect them over the winter. Not all beekeepers do this, but the general practice is one that embodies the attitude that living things are mere material and have no intrinsic value of their own other than what commercial value we can wrench from them. Artificial insemination involving death of the male is now also the norm for generation of new queen bees.

The antibacterial activity in regular honey is due to four major processes or qualities: the osmotic effect, the acidity of honey, the production of hydrogen peroxide in honey and the phytochemical factor. The Osmotic Effect: Honey consists of 84% fructose and glucose and 15-21% water. The sugar molecules and the water molecules interact strongly. When the sugar content of honey is high and the moisture content (water) is low, bacteria can not grow in honey.

The replacement formula will need to be adjusted to get the best results. Also, add 1/2 tsp baking soda for each cup of honey added.
