Honey is unique to the area where it's found. You could be allergic to it in one area only but fine with it elsewhere. It's best to buy honey that is local always. My FIL was a beekeeper. His honey was sold in all of the stores county-wide. People think they are getting great health benefits from commercial honey that is sold all over, but local is so much more healthy. It has to do with the pollen in the area and the job the bees do for us.
