FWIW, that's been thoroughly debunked. For the vast majority of people who suffer from seasonal allergies, they are not allergic to the same plants that bees pollinate.
- e44858 4y agoIt’s probably true that most seasonal allergies are cause by wind-pollinated plants, but bees sometimes help to pollinate those kinds of plants if they happen to be the closest food source. I have ash trees (Fraxinus) in my neighborhood, and even though they’re primarily wind-pollinated, I always see lots of bees gathering their pollen in the springtime. But bees would probably prefer flowers with more nectar if they’re available.
