Yes, I add propolis as well, tried to incorporate everything that was in the hive.  I guess the problem with any honey a person uses you can't tell bees where to get there nectar and pollen.  They can fly into pristine woods or a chemical laden crop.  I do use only Ohio honey from reputable sources.  No fake China honey!  Two books I will recommend for all brewers are "Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers" by Buhner and the "Art of Fermentation" by Katz.  Been making beer and wine for 45 years, mead for 15 and these two books changed my thoughts and approach to brewing.
