No matter where you are, the bees are going to mix it up a bit and forage any nectar available.

I started getting honey from a local beekeeper and noticed I stopped having hay fever soon afterwards. Now it's a morning staple with some tea.

If you the honey helps with your seasonal allergies, that is great and keep eating honey and make sure that it is raw honey not simply labeled “Local Honey.” The term Local Honey means very little to do with where the honey is produced and where it is bought.

As for seasonal allergies, the most common causes are ragweed, tree, grasses and mold.

Obviously, bees do not get nectar from mold but ragweed, grasses and oak, pecan and cedar, do not produce nectar.

Furthermore, people are allergic to pollen that is aerosolized and bees gather pollen in its solid form.

AS for honey, honey is made of sucrose, glucose, and around 17% water and less that one half of one percent pollen.

If the honey helps, keep eating the honey and keep your local beekeeper in business.

My wife, the kids and I all have seasonal allergies and we eat a lot of honey to the point of having jars labeled to the month or even the week the honey was produced.

The honey may ease some symptoms, the enzymes in honey are beneficial and be better for your than sugar, but the science does not show that honey is a large factor in curing allergies.
