Can you desensitize yourself from bee stings by eating local honey?

Eating honey probably won't affect sensitivity to bee stings, but many people say eating local honey has helped with hay fever, Asthma and eczema. There is no documented proof of this but it certainly won't do any harm.
The effect relies on the honey containing small amounts of pollen from local flowers, so get your honey from local beekeepers, not the local supermarket where the commercial honeys will have been pasteurized and filtered to remove the pollen -- and the best of the flavour, but then I'm probably biased on that subject...
