What do you guys think about thyme honey?

On this page it lists the hydrogen peroxide content of honeys. Honeydew had the highest mean concentration but also a huge standard deviation which is bad. Thyme had the 2nd highest and the smallest SD. Of course, this study can't be relied on completely.

I have seen that study. I also was looking into thyme when i couldn't find honey-dew.

I think on paper thyme is pretty decent. If that is reliable for all kinds of thyme.

With honey-dew honey, there are studies after studies testifiying it's ability to produce higher-than average levels of glucose oxidase. It might contain minerals and such, but there is evidence that it can produce h202, which can act as an antibacterial and still be effective.

Thyme looks like a good shot too. If you're in the UK i can link you to a legitimate and cheap raw and reliable producer of it.

"The bees introduce some of the enzymes, found in raw honey, while others are found in the nectar. Because of the different nectar sources, as with other aspects of honey, the enzyme activity will also vary greatly in different honeys. Honeydew honey has high enzyme activity while arbutus honey has virtually no enzyme activity, because it’s produced in late autumn and over-wintering bees have reduced gland activity. "
