Local Honey is best.
If you suffer from allergies, studies show honey that bees make from plants in the area where you live can help alleviate your symptoms. While they are not one hundred percent certain why this is, researchers believe this is because the pollen that might be bothering you is the same pollen collected by the bees. Consuming the honey exposes your body to small amounts of the irritant, allowing your body to adjust to it a little at a time.
While helping your allergies and the loal economy, local honey is also better for the environment because it is not trucked in from long distances (using gas).
Furthermore, honey that is purchased from national retail chians is mostly produced from honey that is imported from places like China and South America, countries that are very lax about allowing the use of pesticides, harsh chemicals and dilution of the honey with sugar water. If you are looking for 100%, good for you honey, shop locally!
