What Are the Benefits of Buying Local Honey?

My name is Melissa which is synonymous with Bees and Honey. She the nymph who nursed the gods with honey. I love the stuff but always buy the local mix. It's best for conquering allergies as well. Lucky to have a few urban bee projects nearby.

After reading the metro I think the companies should be named so we know what we’re buying.

I would be interested in buying local honey even though we don't use a lot but honestly not heard of any local to me

There is a folk lore that interesting homey made by bees locally helps with hay fever allergies due to the immunising effect of the local pollen in the honey. Not sure this has been proven scientifically though…

I was shocked too when I read about fake honey being sold.

So I Googled where my nearest beekeepers were and then found them on Facebook. They advertised which local food markets they were selling from and they were conveniently located to me so bought some quite easily.

The difference in taste was phenomenal! On its own it had quite a medicinal flavour, but was gorgeous on a bit of bread

It's purer and if you have hay-fever it's meant to help it

I don't buy honey that often and when I do I buy the value one. I know that there are a number of local honey producers where I live but I can't justify the price of it. I understand why it costs that much, I just can't afford that.

So guys ur own loca. To urself honey is great for people with hayfever and asmtha and can calm the symptoms as long as ifs loccalto were u live summit to do with the bees collecting it from flowers in ya area builds u defence but also honeys natural cold flu fighter and scientist were looking into if helped with cov id

We’re being mugged off. Think about it. Why is locally produced honey around £6 a jar while you can get honey in a supermarket from as little as a £1?. My guess is the latter isn’t pure honey but is honey with huge additions of sugar syrup

If you get hay-fever it's meant to help with it. Not sure if it'll prevent it or just make it better because the bees use pollen local to your area its supposed to help build the resistance up

I've some cheap stuff in my cupboard but you can taste the difference. I don't use tons of honey. I use a bit in cooking so for me it's worth the cost

I'm not really a fan of honey, its sweet but there is a strange taste about it. I do have some honey flavoured products but it has to be a low key taste of honey. I know its not as healthy but prefer good old golden syrup/treacle or just normal sugar.

Real local honey is gorgeous with many health benefits that protect your health naturally. The best honey for you isn't processed as the processed types have additives and the goodness is stripped. Do yourself a favour and help yourself and your environment by supporting local bee keepers and support your own health. Yes it's expensive but you're worth it.
