> I enjoyed the honey but couldn't have too much of it at any time. Once I had more than a few spoons and started feeling hot and sweaty. Grandpa told that it was an indicator of it being "good" honey. Your comment set me off googling, trying to link "good honey" with the symptoms you were describing. The furthest I got was the reminder that raw (unpasteurised) honey (as yours certainly was) can contain all sorts of pollen and spores, and commonly gives people food poisoning. In fact, it turns out that the health service in the UK recommends _not_ giving any honey to babies because of this. tldr: Your Grandpa might be grading honey based on its botulism content.
