Answer 1

No, the honey isnt powerful enough to wipe out the good bacteria in yogurt. If it was, honey would be dangerous to eat because it would wipe out your gut bacteria. The antibacterial properties of honey mostly stay in your mouth and throat by getting caught in the mucus to help the mucus do what it already does. The honey that goes to your gut would be overwhelmed by the digestive system and gets broken down before it harms your gut bacteria.

Edit: guy bacteria is not a thing, lol
