This is the best summary I could come up with:

Honey from the abdomen of an ant that lives predominantly in the arid regions of Australia has proven to be effective against the potentially deadly golden staph bacteria, according to a recent study.

The study was led by Dee Carter from the University of Sydney, who said the compound from the honeypot ant was effective in small concentrations against the drug-resistant bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.

Professor Carter said the honeypot ant's honey had unique antimicrobial properties that could one day lead to new medicines.

Professor Carter said the honeypot ant liquid was very different to bee honey, due to the way it was produced and stored.

"They actually collect nectar and also what we call honey dew, which … that sort of sticky secretion that aphids make," she said.

Professor Carter said study's findings complemented the traditional medicine used by First Nations people in central Australia for thousands of years.
