I'm 28 years old and have been working with bees all my life. As a kid I suffered alot from hay fever type allergies, especially while I was in the bee yards during honey pulling time. I got so sick sometimes that I can remember my dad sending me home. Two years ago I started eating more of our own honey. (imagine that) By more, I mean that I have a little bit every day even if its only some in my morning coffee. Last year I only suffered from allergies 2 or 3 days. So far this season I have not had a bad day. The canola is in full bloom here and so are many other flowers and I still feel great. We are having a very wet year. I hope that this is not playing a role in my lack of allergy symptoms. Kevin Christensen
