It’s official: summer no longer exists in London. Hay fever season, however, is still going strong.

The London Honey Company may have a solution to help you breathe easier. Down some of its liquid gold or honeycomb — sourced from hives found in parks, gardens and on rooftops in the city, as well as other parts of the UK, including Salisbury and Shropshire. Word has it that traces of pollen found in the sweet stuff reduce sneezing, itchy eyes and other symptoms.

Eat it throughout the winter to build your immunity, and, hopefully, next summer will be a bigger success.

In more ways than one.
