Honey for Rooting Cuttings
This sweet product can accelerate the rooting process of plants. To prepare the solution, you will need:
- Two cups of hot water.
- One tablespoon of honey.
Dissolve the honey in the water and mix thoroughly. Keep the mixture in a dark place for 10–14 days. Use the prepared solution to treat the cuttings: simply dip them in the mixture before planting in soil or submerging in water. In 1–2 weeks, the plants will start to root.

Honey as a Bait for Pests
Honey can serve as an effective tool in the fight against insect pests. Here are a few ideas:
- For wasps and hornets: create a simple trap using a plastic bottle. Pour a little water inside and add honey. The sweet scent will attract the insects, and they will get trapped.
- For ants: mix honey with boric acid. Place the resulting mixture in areas where ants have been seen. This remedy will help eliminate the insects without using aggressive chemicals.
