About Bee Pollen

Bee Pollen is the collected pollens of flowers which are gathered by bees for the purpose of storing as food.

The little nuggets of pollen are compressed by the bee as it works among the flowers it attends. As it works, the nugget gets bigger until the bee is carrying a very large ball. In fact, the bees carry two nuggets at a time and normally have one on each side of their body, held by their hind legs and the sticky quality of the pollen itself.

Bees only gather pollens which are of high quality and contain large levels of protien and amino acids, and they mix it with nectar and some of their own secretions to bind it together so that they can carry it to their hive, where it will be eaten later on.

Bee Pollen contains more protien per ounce than any other known food substance which is all natural. No other natural source is so abundant in protien. Bee Pollen also contains ample amounts of various vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin A, C, E, Thiamine, Riboflavin, B6, B12, Biotin, Folic Acid, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Potassium, Selenium, Lecithin and Sodium.

Why Bee Pollen?

The benefits of Bee Pollen have been touted as wide spectrum , and assist the body to heal and repair itself, avoiding to some degree, such illnesses as cancer, and prostate disease. It is helpful for your skin, sexual stamina, weight control, aid to digestion, and blood cell production.

1 teaspoonful of Bee Pollen per day is an excellent health supplement and is sure to improve your overall health, including increased alertness, and stamina. Be Pollen varies in taste depending upon the source of the Pollen itself, and will have unique variations according to the season and location of origin.

The general flavor can be sweet for some, or bitter for others. It tastes great in yogurt, or in milkshakes, sprinkled on fresh fruit, or mixed with regular honey and added to uncooked recipies. Do not cook your Bee Pollen since this will deteriorate its vitamin and nutritive content. There are many "colors" within Bee Pollen from white, to yellow to browns, reds, blues... pretty much the whole spectrum. This is due to that pollens themselves vary in color according to the flower from which they came.
