What's the objection to honey, just out of curiosity?

When I had a mole taken off my back this winter I dressed it with raw honey. 4 cm Mohs procedure - the stitches were supposed to stay in for 14 days. I had them out in eight, and the nurse said the incision looked "great." It never so much as got red - until it completely closed, it stayed as clean-looking as when the doctor made the cuts. This is the first wound I've dressed with raw honey and I have NEVER had a wound look so clean before.
