          From TFA, if you aren’t buying local then you aren’t buying honey anyway.

          Might as well buy a sweet to suck on.

              The statements were

              Buy local

              or don’t buy honey

              If you are buying local then you’ve already satisfied the first half of the OR. It’s an option, if you aren’t prepared to buy local then don’t buy but also not buying honey at all is an option instead of buying honey.

              Buying non-local mass produced honey is not an option, and won’t help you with a sore throat any more than sucking on a sweet will, and you aren’t likely to be buying honey anyway.

          It’s a little more complicated than that unfortunately. Supporting bees is much more than just supporting honey bees.
