Then one day, they all just left.
He did fairly recently put up (last spring) a box on a tree in back yard of our office building and sure enough a swarm took to it, so guessing maybe they went up to his place to get his hives going again.

I have heard this and have never done it. I have so many freaking allergies, I don't know why I don't do this. Certainly worth a try to reduce all my allergy medicines and even possibly asthma, which I don't have too bad, but bad enough I have to take medicine.

No it won't. Especially given that I like honey. I already looked an there are a number of places that sell it. Just need to remember to pick some up when I'm out in one of those directions.Ricky Spanish wrote:It won't hurt to try.

It bothers me everywhere. Most times the day after it rains I get a headache. It's generally not as bad when I'm in Florida because we stay on the island of Clearwater beach so having ocean all around plus the time of year helps but far from eliminates. It's actually much worse up here because of all the ragweed and other things.
I once toured the National Ignition Facility. https://lasers.llnl.gov/about/what-is-nif This is an hyper clean facility. All air is extremely filtered and you wear head, show covers to try and keep dust to an absolute minimum. Any speck of dust that ends up on a mirror or lens burns into the glass and shortens the life of these very expensive items. After being in there for maybe 30 minutes, my sinuses cleared I could not believe how easy it was to breath through my nose. I need to live in there It was wonderful to experience what normal people do if only briefly.No it won't. Especially given that I like honey.

It was crazy last week, but it didn't bother my lungs at all.
