Hello Rodney,


> I would like to know the recommended amount of honey to take daily to
help stop allergies.

Most people recommend a teaspoon to a tablespoon once a day for a month
before the start of allergy season.

Raw honey from a local source is best.

Late season unprocessed, not heated  and not pressure filtered Wildflower
with suspended pollen is what I sell to people wanting help with their
allergies (EVEN IN SPRING AND SUMMER).

I have had a couple people say their allergies almost went away after only
several days but when asked I give the above advice.

 Hundreds of people have told me my honey has helped with their allergies.

 One lady  said she had been to many doctors and still had cold like
symptoms during the ragweed season. She thought she would have to be
miserable during allergy season until she happened by my stand one day.

 She followed my advice and now only has a stuffy nose at times during
allergy season. She quit seeing her allergy doctor!

Late season Missouri wildflower will be dark if you put your supers on in
September. Many simply leave supers on till late September but the supers
still contain a large amount of light clover honey so not a true wildflower
honey. Producing true wildflower can cost you your hives by not being able
to do fall meds early enough.

Yellow flowers produce dark honey in Missouri .

Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
