According to Wikipedia:
Scientists have revealed that honey has powerful anti-bacterial properties on at least sixty species of bacteria, and unlike antibiotics, which are often useless against certain types of bacteria, honey is non-toxic and has strong effects.[6]
The composition of honey includes sugars such as glucose and fructose and also minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate. Depending on the quality of the nectar and pollen, the vitamins contained in honey are B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3.[12]
When honey is used topically, as, for example, a wound dressing, hydrogen peroxide is produced by dilution of the honey with body fluids. As a result, hydrogen peroxide is released slowly and acts as an antiseptic.
Honey is widely used in cough medicines and to treat allergies.

Oranges & Lemons
When oranges and lemons are in season and abundant, 
peel them and set the peelings out to dry
store in a cool open place and check frequently to make sure they have plenty of air circulation (and are not growing mold!)
once peeling are dry, tear them into quarter or dime sized pieces and store them in a glass jar
use them to make tea, grate into dishes, or put into a coffee grinder to make powder
juice the insides and freeze the juice in ice cube molds
****I froze the lemon pulp that was the waste product from the juicer… thinking it would make a great cleaning product – but have yet to figure out how to get it from point A to point B. Any ideas?
Limes
Zest them – set the zest out to dry
Place dried zest in clean baby food jars for storage
Freeze the juice in ice cube molds.
