Bees collect pollen from flowers, which sticks to their bodies as they gather nectar. They then pack this pollen into structures called pollen baskets located on their hind legs. Once back at the hive, bees mix the collected pollen with nectar and bee secretions, forming small granules. These granules are stored in honeycomb cells and used as a primary food source for the bee colony, particularly for the larvae. Each tiny granule of bee pollen contains a wealth of nutrients.

Energy Boost: Due to its high nutrient content, bee pollen can provide a natural energy boost.

Immune System Support: Its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants help strengthen the immune system.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: The antioxidants and other compounds in bee pollen can help reduce inflammation.

Allergy Relief: Some studies suggest that local bee pollen may help reduce seasonal allergies by gradually building up resistance to local allergens.

Digestive Aid: Bee pollen contains enzymes that aid in digestion.

Skin Health: Topical application of bee pollen can promote wound healing and reduce inflammation.

Bee pollen can be consumed directly in granule form, mixed into smoothies, sprinkled on yogurt, fruit or anything you like.

Bee pollen is packed with

vitamins: particularly B-complex vitamins and vitamins A, C, D, and E.

Minerals: It contains essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and selenium

Enzymes and Coenzymes: These aid in digestion and other metabolic processes.

Proteins: Bee pollen is approximately 20-35% protein. It contains all 22 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source.

It is recommended that you store your pollen in a dark, cool place, preferably the refrigerator or freezer. Pollen is a “food” that can spoil after a period of time usually 6 months at room temperature. Freezing the pollen will keep it fresh and at full strength for up to 2 years.
