    That’s unfortunately untrue. Raw honey contains too little pollen to have an effect, and what little is there is rapidly broken down in the stomach.

    It’s also the wrong type of pollen as the type collected by bees is from plants that utilize insects, not wind, for fertilization. It’s heavy and stickier, so isn’t airborne in substantial quantities, and thus not the type of pollens responsible for most seasonal allergies.
