yeah it does but it doesn't work unless the honey is being brought from 20 miles or less away from where you spend most of your day.

There is a discussion of this in Jean Carper's Miracle Cures. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa got allergy relief from taking bee pollen. Some naturopaths have had success with locally acquired pollen or honeycomb in treating allergic conditions. It is probably worth a try if nothing else is very helpful.

It can boost you ability to become more immune to the reaction you have associated with your allergy if the honey contains small enough amounts of what it is your allergic to. I wouldn't go so far as to try bee pollen. Bee pollen may be too concentrated of an amount of what your allergic to and can cause serious side effects if not taken properly with allergies.

not that i know of, but it can help with simple rashes and burns, as it is a naturally disease free substance.
