hortriot,

I hadn't heard of using honey as a rooting hormone, I do know however from my studies into making Mead, that honey is a very interesting substance. One of the few that science cannot completely explain. It's a dynamic substance, and is almost constantly undergoing chemical changes, one of these chemical changes that occures produces as a byproduct Hydrogen Peroxide, which is why people find honey helps to prevent infections on skin abraisions.. This is also why honey is one of the only substances you can make into alcohol without having to worry about contamination during the mixing and yeast activation stages. You can brew honey wine and you don't even have to cook anything!! (I've done it, YUMMY!!)..

Honey as rooting hormone, I'm pleased to hear it, but not really surprised(Nectar of the gods and all)!
