Yes! This is why we started keeping bees 18 years ago. I underwent surgery on my neck fir tumor, and had recovery time to read some health books (so I wouldn’t grow another tumor, hopefully). Almost all the natural cure books mentioned LOCAL RAW HONEY, teaspoon taken daily/year round for prevention of allergies, immune boosting, better skin, hair, nails, ligaments, joints, and general well-being. It took a minute, but after 3 months I was buying so much of another farmer’s (who became one of our beekeeping mentors) honey that nostr:npub1uense4apn73tvh4u20tzlp6u72g4kdustzsm0k0sqy6yuwh5jxlsy97y76 said he better get some bees or go broke. Strange as it seems, I wasn’t a fan of honey before taking it medicinally. Now, can’t do without it. If I travel, I try to find a local beekeeper (hives within 150 miles of where we are staying, and unpasteurized (raw, not heated past 120℉) wildflower honey.

The deal is that it is essential to do a daily dose, only a teaspoon, year round, even if you feel fine ATM. If you forget the morning dose, take one before bed, honey actually assists in the release of melatonin, even though it gives energy in the morning.

I do bumps of honey all the time. Never had any allergies

the key is that the honey needs to be from YOUR LOCAL BEES.

that part is important because the bees are collecting from the flora in your local area which gets into the honey. then by eating a small amount of that honey, you will gradually get used to the pollen and dust of your area and lessen your allergies.

so yeah, buying commercial honey won't work and buying local honey from a different region won't work either.

the best place is to get it at the local farmers market. the closer to you, the better.
