Has the idea been disproven? I remember well the various flipflopping about toddlers and peanuts

That's different. With peanuts you're directly ingesting the allergen. With honey you have to hope that enough of the allergen, survived the honey making process, assuming you're allergic to something bees make honey from.

There's no question that allergy immunotherapy is legit, but honey is unlikely to be a viable method of it.
