There's a lot of hubbub around the "buy local" mantra these days, but there may be more in it for you that you realize, especially when it comes to honey.

By buying locally-produced honey, your body gets small doses of the same pollen that can trigger your allergies. In the same fashion that a vaccine works, by giving your body the honey, allergies may be dramatically reduced! So the closer you live to the beekeeper, the better off you are!
