Hi Autoimmune!
You make a very good point...local raw honey helps with local allergies.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/death-and-extinction-of-the-bees/5375684
a type of insecticide called neonicotinoids, is known to cause acute and chronic poisoning not just of one bee, but the entire colony. Bees take the contaminated nectar and pollen spread through the plant’s DNA back to the hive, creating a highly toxic living environment for all the bees. Toxicity builds up destroying the Central Nervous System, causing further disorientation and bees ultimately can neither fly nor make it back to the nest. Meanwhile, unlike the US, in Europe and Australia where the health of insects and humans is deemed more important than corporate profit, laws banning insecticide use have been passed, which in large part has largely saved the bee populations from being so decimated there.
A study last year found 35 pesticides and fungicides, some at lethal doses, in the pollen collected from bees that were used to pollinate food crops in five U.S. states. In another research study, bees that contacted pollen contaminated with fungicides ended up three times more likely to get infected by a parasite closely associated with Colony Collapse Disorder.
...
Another probable factor in America is the widespread use of feeding bee colonies with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) instead of its natural self-made food honey. For maximum profit, industrialized US bee farms utilize maximum honey yields, not leaving any honey for the bees to consume during the long colder winter months. It is speculated that the natural hormonal and enzyme effects interacting with honey’s natural nutritional advantages provided bees with the increased defenses that historically have been effective in fighting off parasitic threats and viruses. In contrast, the artificially processed HFCS is believe to weaken the immune system of the honeybees’ genetic strength to ward off disease.

Welcome to the Medical Forum!
I didn't find a thread specifically on Autoimmune disorders..You could start a thread, we would Love to hear your experiences.
Since you are new to the Medical section, a good place to start is our PH Plan Quick Start . In our PH Positive Health section.
In Medicinal Cannabis Recipes / Articles you will find ways to use the whole plant and the excess from your harvest for medicine (not for college students!).
And Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food (you are here!)
Feel free to pm me if you have any questions or if I can help with anything.

We are fully organic here, so hopefully this colony will decide to stay and thrive.
Anyway, just some food for thought.
..I feel an Info swap coming on.
I can hook you up as far as dairy cows, chickens, horses, and Llamas
