If you eat honey that is local to your area, it may prevent your seasonal allergies. Bees use the pollen from local plants and eventually it ends up in your honey.
Honey may also be effective in the treatment of stomach ulcers.
Honey is a good source of antioxidants. They play a big role in the prevention of cancer as well as heart disease. The darker the honey--the higher the level of antioxidants.

My husband & I went to a local Farmer's Market on Saturday & there was a purveyor selling "local" honey. I didn't talk to him, but his sign more or less said that using a few teaspoons of honey a day would eliminate allergy problems (didn't make any other health claims beyond allergies though).
Since neither of us is thankfully bothered by any allergies, we couldn't even anecdotely test his claim. Not a great fan of honey anyway.

The reason honey is supposedly good at reducing allergies is because you can build up a resistance to pollen by eating honey. Pretty interesting!
