It's a myth. For a start most people's hayfever isn't anything to do with flower pollen, it's grass and tree pollen and fungal spores. Pollen and spores can be carried by air currents and travel long distances. The flowers your local honey comes from are unlikely to be causing your hayfever. You should buy local honey over commercial honey though because it supports small producers.
So you just need to find grass, tree, and fungal honey then to make it work. Easy peasy.
Someone, somewhere, is definitely making fungal honey. But I think it might be an STD.
