Bee farm owner Daniel Castillo said Reyes consumed the whole bottle in just one gulp minutes after breakfast.

“Sinabi ko na sa kanila na  hanggang limang kutsara lang dapat ang kainin dahil nakakahilo pag sobra. Eh nasarapan ata”, Mendoza said.

Honey has been used by humans for thousands of years as a food and for medicinal reasons.
Honey has been recognized for its positive benefits as a food in scientific research since 1892. While it is considered generally safe for healthy adults, just like any other food, there are concerns if you eat too much, in addition to concerns for infants and those with weakened immune systems.

According to medical research, honey has the same relative sweetness and chemical backbone as table sugar, so the recommended serving size of honey is the same as it is for table sugar. One tablespoon is considered a serving and it is not recommended that you exceed 10 tbsp. over the course of one day. This 10 tbsp. recommendation is for all added sugars, including those in packaged foods.

Reyes’ condition is still uncertain as of press time and doctors are still working on his recovery.
According to his unnamed accomplice, the activist leader is obsessed with honey and plans to start his bee farm.
