From Bahai9

Honey yieldeth medicine to man
"From its [the bee's] belly cometh forth a fluid of varying hues, which yieldeth medicine to man. Verily in this is a sign for those who consider."
Honey helps the constitution of all men
"But this is not so, for capacity is of two kinds: natural capacity and acquired capacity. The first, which is the creation of God, is purely good--in the creation of God there is no evil; but the acquired capacity has become the cause of the appearance of evil. For example, God has created all men in such a manner and has given them such a constitution and such capacities that they are benefited by sugar and honey and harmed and destroyed by poison."
(Advice to diseased person take honey)
"Take some honey, recite “Ya Baha-ul-ABHA,” and eat a little thereof for several days. For these thy prevailing diseases are not on account of sins, but they are to make thee detest this world and know that there is no rest and composure in this temporal life."
- ('Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, vol 1, p. 185)
