A member asked:
Can eating local honey really help with pollen allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Seasonal allergies are caused by wind born pollens ( trees, grass weed). Bees help flowering plants pollinate by transfering pollen from plant to plant. The pollen transported on bees are not the pollens that cause seasonal allergy problems.
