Yes, honey straight from a bee hive can be safe to eat.
Specifically, honey has strong anti-bacterial properties. Raw honey nevertheless is not the food for infants or those with immune-compromised systems. It may contain spores from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. These spores may survive the passage of raw, unprocessed honey through human digestive systems. They will not survive pasteurization.
