In Jewish tradition, this symbolizes the new year. At the traditional meal for that holiday, apple slices are dipped in honey and eaten to bring a sweet new year. This light golden color sweet liquid plays an important role in the festival of Madhu Purnima, celebrated by Buddhists.
In the Roman Empire, this was possibly used instead of gold to pay taxes. Ancient Egyptian and Middle-Eastern peoples also used this for embalming the dead. Even the Qur'an mentions the benefits of it.
Not able to guess the product? Well, let me give some statitic then - a bee has to travel about 80, 000 kms and visit roughly 2 million flowers to make half a kilo of this. Ahh! Now am sure you must have got it. HONEY… [at time we have heard people calling their love ones as honey too, not sure of the rationale though:)]
Honey has also been used for centuries as a treatment for sore throats & coughs and according to recent research may in fact be more effective than most common medicines. Mixed with lemon juice and consumtion is believed to be a healthy drink early morning. Some studies suggest that the use of honey may reduce swelling and scarring when used to treat wounds. This also prevents the dressing from sticking to the healing wound.

Due to its unique composition honey is suitable for long term preservation and is healthy even after long conservation. We have noticed honey is sold only in glass vessel. As it is believed honey becomes toxic when preserved in metal containers. The wooden vessels are not suitable for honey preservation as honey soaks up the smell in such vessels.
