The allergy symptoms that I experience and attribute to goldenrod occur
while working the bees (pulling honey).  I also notice it while extracting
and filling barrels with this late honey.  Is it possible that this pollen
could become airborn during these times even though its a sticky pollen?
If I stay away from the bees and the honey house during these times, I
don't experience the symptoms.
