Nothing Honey

Over-filtered honey doesn't actually qualify as honey anymore. Stores sell it anyway. Buy local and organic if you can, preferably from a beekeeper or orchard.

You'd think removing the pollen would be a good thing, seeing as many people are allergic to it.

Stores lie all the time. There are bulk honey boxes in Winco that are labeled, "Do not lift lid; bees will escape." I lifted the lid out of curiosity once, and there's no bees or even a space for them in there; it's just a plastic container full of honey. They only put that stupid lie on there to keep people from messing with it, but I suspect it's counterproductive for most people.

Yes...

Pollen has protein; it makes honey more nutritious, not just empty calories. It affects flavor. It also lessens allergies for many people, although that requires local honey, without about 20 miles or so.
