Am I just misunderstanding what people mean when they say it has anti microbial properties? Like, it’s hostile to most things but not all? I have no intention of feeding an infant honey, I was just wondering.

The sugar concentration is so high and water activity (ELI5 basically moisture content) is so low that microbes can’t grow in the honey. It doesn’t have any way of killing any bacteria that get into it.
Also, botulism is caused by the toxin produced by C. Botulinum, not by the bacteria itself.
