I want to start taking honey daily, which is the best honey for this purpose?

Answers:
Local honey is best for you if you suffer with hayfever, but in general terms try Manuka (not maluka) honey. It comes in several different strengths (known as UMF), so be careful which one you have - the strongest one is only suitable for topical application and is used in hospitals on some types of wounds. I think 10 is the best for maximum edible effect.
Manuka is made from maleleuca alternifolia (tea tree) flowers (by bees, obviously!) and therefore has strong health boosting properties - mainly antiseptic and antibiotic. So if you're also on something like Actimel or Yakult (friendly bacteria) they'll cancel each other out, so I'd recommend picking one or the other.
It's available in most supermarkets, but a health food shop will be be able to provide advice and more variety. Comvita is a good brand, as is Medi Bee. Be warned though, it has a rather odd, slightly rubbery undertone to the flavour. Having said that, it's very tasty and extremely good if you're feeling a bit off colour or have a funny tum.

A natural one that you like the taste of
I take organic, locally made honey. It helps with allergies if you use the local stuff. If allergies don't bother you, any organic honey should be good - just find one that you like the taste of. I take mine with organic red cider vinegar. Great stuff!
maluka - but not the stuff sold by sainsburys - i mean their own brand, it tastes wrong - the best stuff is from health food shops or in the big three.
all honeys are good. Arcacian is one of the top ones,,,Did you know that honey burns off fat calories as you sleep?
well it does, one spoonful per night at bedtime, burns fat.
If this is for hayfever take one that is produced by local bees to you.
try to get honey harvested as close to your home as possible. it will help with allergies if you have any, because you'll be getting pollen from your area.
Honey can help in many ways, one is to increase tolerance to Hay Fever and similar alergies. You must however use a local blend, its no good using Mexican honey if you live in Ireland. Look out for you local produce and start getting the benefit.
not sure but i do know if you take local honey it helps you from getting hay fever
It depends on what you are taking the honey for.
If you have seasonal allergies, get locally made honey from as near as possible to where you live. The pollen that the bees use to make the honey gets into your system in a harmless way and your allergies can disappear completely.
If you are looking to take it for other reasons, the more natural the better. Try to get honey with no additives. Beyond that, the bees all do a pretty good job. Buying local honey is reccomended even if allergies are not involved, as it is easier to ship to where you are, and the cost of shipping as well as the pollution caused by the trucks is greatly reduced if you buy locally.
A natural one and one that comes from the state you live in. It has allergie properties in it that help you with comman allergies that come around.
Probably an organic one or something! don't really know sorry!
Buy honey that is made locally from your area. For some reason, the pollen acts like an allergy shot. The pollen is different in other areas, so it's best if you get one from your area. Even if you don't have allergies.
New Zealand Manuka Honey or Royal Jelly
manuka ,a medicinal honey ,good for all ills
There is nothing magic about honey, it's basically just plant sugars which have been processed in the insides of a bee then vomited back up into the honeycomb. Different honeys have different tastes depending on which flowers the bees collected most nectar from. It's good for soothing sore throats but not as some tonic. It is also very deficient in B vitamins. Personally, I think the best way to take honey is to drink it as mead.
