I'd be very careful with bee pollen.   According to the American Academy of Asthma Allergy & Immunology (AAAAI) there is little, if any, scientific evidence that bee pollen or royal jelly helps allergies. On the contrary, "there have been reported cases of severe allergic reactions to ingested bee pollen or royal jelly in individuals very sensitive to either the bee venom or plant components that become part of the bee pollen. Therefore ... ingestion of bee pollen is unlikely to be helpful and may actually trigger allergic reactions rather than desensitize."   You should talk to your son's doctor about his allergy symptoms and the fact that they are no longer responding to the medication he's been taking. The doctor should be able to help you and your son find another way (either with drugs or other therapy) to help relieve his symptoms.
