Why should you buy local honey?

Local honey contains pollen from regional plants, which can help desensitize your body to local allergens and potentially alleviate hay fever symptoms. Additionally, local honey is typically less processed than mass-produced honey, meaning it retains more of its beneficial enzymes and antioxidants. 

When you buy directly from a beekeeper, you are also ensuring the honey is 100% real. Most honey in the grocery stores have high fructose corn syrup or rice syrup added.
