This amazing nutrient known as bee pollen is esteemed by many health experts as a complete food. It has been used as a supplement for thousands of years by many cultures all over the world.
It is mentioned, along with other bee products, in the Bible, the Talmud, the Koran, the Book of Mormon, and has even been referred to in ancient Oriental scrolls of the Far East.
A full colony of bees can actually pull in as many as 50,000 loads of pollen a day. The vital pollen is taken from the stamen of flowers. It is the male reproductive part of the flower that the bees collect.
The bees pack the powder into granules, adding honey or nectar from honey sacs where it is then transported back to the hive.
Finally, an enzyme is added to prevent germination, metabolizing the pollen for food, thus preserving the bee pollen benefit nutritionally.
It is gathered for human consumption and use with a special device that is placed at the entrance of the hive through which the bees pass.
