When the same pollen that causes your suffering is delivered in small, manageable doses, after a few months your immune system gets a boost. If you live in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, about the only way to get honey made closer to home than Sweet Virginia is to get a bee veil and a smoker and put a hive with about 40,000 bees in your backyard!
