Can Honey Provide Allergy Relief?

We picked up this bottle of honey at the local farmers market last weekend.  We've heard that honey may provide allergy relief so we did a little research. 

Here is a brief summary of the theory behind honey providing allergy suffers' some natural relief:

Bees carry pollen from flowers to their nest, which ends up in small amounts within the honey they make. Local honey is important because local bees will likely transfer pollen from local flowers.  The theory is that if you eat 1-2 teaspoons of local honey per day, the honey may act as a vaccine in small doses and help boost your immune system against the pollen. 

For people who are looking for a natural remedy to allergies, this may be one option. 

Honey is great as an alternative sweetner in your hot or cold tea.  Try honey on a piece of toast with peanut butter - it's delicious.
