Everyone knows that our locally produced manuka honey is nothing short of special. Not only is it known to be exceptionally good in quality and taste, but also be very good for maintaining your skin healthy as well as boosting your immune system.

But as it turns out, there’s even more reasons to love Australian honey as a recent study from the university of Sydney has discovered its huge potential when it comes to battling the antibiotic resistance crisis, which consists on the growing resistance bacteria develops after the continued use of antibiotics, which can render them ineffective after enough time has passed.

Today we’ve got the lead of the study herself, Kenya Fernandes, right here at 2ser breakfast, who led the study that uncovered all of the amazing antibiotic properties that the honey made by our stingless bees here in Australia has over other varieties of honey produced around the rest of the world.

Head over to Kenya Fernandes’ personal website to discover more about her work and other incredible studies she’d leading, to the University of Sydney’s to find more publications like these, and remember to support local honey markets and studies like these!
