Growing up I have always heard that a little but if local honey every day helps fight allergies. I have also heard that you have to be taking the honey daily for six months before it starts working.
I am not sure of the truth of either of those statements but last year my allergies were so bad I would try anything. One cup of local honey sweetened tea a day can't hurt and if it helps that's even better.
Within a week of starting this my allergies were better. Now in all reality whatever was blooming may have died off, my body could have fought it off, or it could be in my head. I hope it either works or is in my head because even if it only worked because I thought it would work, well at least I got some relief.
I do have to believe there is some truth to the claim, however, because I have never seen a bee sneeze (or a bees knees for that matter).
