Kevin visits the Bee Queen, Part 2

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Fresh honey from bees doesn't just taste good, it has other surprising qualities.

The importance of local beekeeping and local honey is that local honey is going to help your immune system and help with allergies. The local honey and the local pollen are going to have some of the same allergens that are going to be in the air that irritate you.

You need to make sure it's local honey, which is anywhere within 70 miles, so the closer you can get to your house the better. Make sure it's a teaspoon to two tablespoons a day.

Now the question, where do you find local honey?
