Does anyone have any experience of sterilizing honey?
 
We already make medicines using beeswax which were a bit of a challenge to sterilize. Now we are contemplating utilizing honey but are a bit concerned that the sterilization process may denature the honey. Whilst honey is regarded as having antiseptic properties it nevertheless poses a microbiological risk because it does contain spores such as botulinum hence the need for sterilization and hence the question.
