Honey possesses antibacterial properties as it maintains a moist wound condition.

The high viscosity contained by honey helps provide a protective layer or a barrier against infection.  It also has an immunomodulatory property which is deemed very relevant in repairing wounds too.  It does not have antibacterial  properties but anti-microbial too. The antimicrobial capacity of honey is caused by the enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide.

However, when the hydrogen peroxide activity of a non-peroxide honey is blocked, antibacterial effects starts to manifest.

Answer:

The total land space of the Japanese islands is about 142,000 square miles. As you can see from map 2 and map 3, it is a very small country when compared with the vast Asian mainland, or with the United States, where it is smaller than the single, although large, state of California. It seems even smaller when you realize how little of its land is useful for agriculture or housing, as we will discuss below. China, the United States, and a few other giants of the world are the unusual ones, however. Japan does not seem so small when compared with some of the nations of Western Europe. It is, for example, larger than Italy. (See map 4).
