Raising bees is one small step toward becoming self-sufficient. If properly stored, honey lasts for years. It provides vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances that you can share with your family and friends. What's more, raw honey from certain sources (not pasteurized honey from a supermarket), such as Manuka honey, can be used as a dressing for wounds. This has been known for centuries.
Scientific American 1-minute podcast (January 31, 2012): "Honey Helps Heal Wounds": http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/honey-helps-heal-wounds-12-01-31/
Based on research published in Microbiology: "Manuka honey inhibits the development of Streptococcus pyogenes biofilms and causes reduced expression of two fibronectin binding proteins": http://mic.sgmjournals.org/content/early/2012/01/31/mic.0.053959-0.abstract
Of course, this is just a beginner's book (50+ pages), so the author only covers the basics.
