Interesting, some of that I did not know about, some I did... Local raw honey is the best thing for allergies, especially if you are new to an area. I love it. It's one of those things I can't buy enough of. I stock it up when I can. Liquid gold. It literally never goes bad.

Great recommendation! I love raw UNHEATED honey.
