Why local honey is best for hay fever allergies
Blackwater Honey are a 3rd generation, family run bee farming business consisting of brothers - Andrew and John Shinnick.
Their delicious tasting and multi award winning honeys have won Gold medals in both Blas na hÉireann - Irish Taste Awards and in the Irish Quality Food & Drink Awards.
They were also the overall winner of the food category in the Irish Country Magazine - Irish Made Awards and also won an international award at the Guild of fine Food, Great Taste in the UK.
Their honeys are 100% Irish and 100% natural with nothing added and are made by the native Irish honeybee – Apis Mellifera Mellifera which is becoming endangered.
Local honey, such as that available from Blackwater Honey, is best for hay fever allergies as the honey in most shops contain a blend of EU & non-EU honey. Unfortunately, those honeys will contain any of the local pollens you will be exposed to in your area and therefore will offer no benefit help benefits to you to deal with your allergies/symptoms.
