I used to be skeptical of this until I tried it last year. Now it could just be the placebo effect, but the amount of immune response during the early summer was significantly less than previous years - like no need for antihistamine less. The honey has to be local to the area, and I believe the stuff I used was never exposed to heat beyond the typical hot knife used to uncap.
A local girl here is keeping bees at a couple of local farms and saving the money for college. Told me her grandfather gave her the idea. I bought enough to make some mead.
