Same idea as immunotherapy shots or sublingual drops.

Whether it's actually local, and if the allergens are actually concentrated enough to make any difference, is a very different question. Set of questions.

Don't forget this one: Is it actually honey? Honey flavored corn syrup doesn't help.

I'm guessing this is a US thing? At least I've never heard of it before as a european and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be allowed to be sold as honey here

Also very much a problem in Europe sadly. Of course not allowed, but pretty hard to detect. There are test that can tell the difference, but they are not accepted by the EU (yet?).

i mean this is solved by not buying imported honey, even here in sweden i can just go on a walk around the area and find at least one person selling honey from their backyard at a perfectly resonable price, so i don't see the point in buying imported unless you're a colony of bees in a trenchcoat and need it to survive.
