Think about it: the local bees go from flower to flower, pollenating, buzzing around, and generally doing their thing. At the end of the day, the honey they make contains little bits of local pollen. Rather than walking out the door for a faceful of pollen, eating said honey builds up your tolerance slowly.

A hat tip to @rickbakas for mentioning this topic.
