You ignored that the studies were all for different allergies… so you can’t just take 4 “nos” and 1 “yes” as a no for all.
The studies in that mini-review did not investigate different allergies. They each focused on different symptoms; either skin inflammation or mucosa inflammation (conjunctiva, nose, sinuses). The allergen responsible was not characterized.
The only paper that looked at a specific allergy is the one I cited.
I could also cite multiple studies showing that use of bee products can make allergies worse.

There are more, too.
They literally did study different allergies. Are you just looking at some other paper than the one I linked? They literally have a column that states the allergic diseases that they studied.
You seem to be talking about specific allergens which I never said.
Allergies tested:
This may just be a language thing. Those aren't allergies to me, they are symptoms of allergies.
To me, allergies are things like a peanut allergy, penicillin allergy, latex allergy, etc.
The paper calls them allergies, and has a column for them. I’m going to go with what the scientists say.
The paper literally doesnt call them allergies. It says "allergic disease", which is an effect (i.e., symptom) of an allergy.

And like I mentioned before, 4/5 of those studies dont show an improvement due to honey over a control group. The fifth study, I can access, but it doesnt even have a control, and it's not testing just honey, anyway.
