Local Tampa Gold Honey for Allergies
Local honey is popularly used as a natural, complementary remedy for seasonal allergies, based on the theory that consuming small, trace amounts of local pollen builds immune tolerance.

Tampa
Gold Wilderness Local Honey is renown for its unique flavor and superb
quality. This owes much to the placement of our beehives in the Tampa
Wilderness areas. We do this for extended periods, allowing our bees to
collect nectar from the blossoms of a diverse range of native plants in
one of the most natural, undisturbed wilderness settings . Undeterred,
our commitment to excellence led us to explore the varied floral
tapestry of wilderness Honey.
While evidence is largely anecdotal with mixed scientific results, daily consumption of raw, unprocessed local honey (around 1 tablespoon) may offer mild relief, best started 5–6 weeks before allergy season.
- Scientific Evidence is Mixed:
- While some studies indicate mild, short-term relief, many scientific reviews find little to no significant difference in allergy symptoms compared to a placebo.
- The Type of Pollen Matters:
- Bees typically collect heavy, sticky pollen from flowers. However, most seasonal allergy symptoms are triggered by lightweight, airborne pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, which bees do not commonly collect.
- Safety Warning:
- Never feed raw honey to infants under one year old due to the risk of botulism.
- Not a Replacement:
- Local honey should not replace professional medical treatment for severe allergies.
