The guy I get my honey from sells the pollen also, I think some scrapes off when the bees go in and out of the hive and he collects it, If I remember correctly. It’s supposed to have a bigger effect on allergies than just the honey. Taken by the teaspoon full. 
But… I haven’t found that the honey or the pollen works very well for me. Still I like the local stuff.
