Bee pollen is a ball of pollen made by young bees when they land on a flower. It’s a mixture of pollen, saliva, and nectar or honey. Bees carry these balls back to the hive in sacs on their legs and store them in the hive’s honeycomb. The pollen then ferments into “bee bread,” which feeds a bee colony. Beekeepers collect pollen from bees by keeping a thick comb in the entrance of their hives. When bees pass through it, it knocks the pollen off their legs into a collection bin below. The bees then must go out to collect more pollen. Bee pollen is available by local bee-keepers and honey farms as well as most pharmacies and vitamin and health food stores. It can be added to your meals or tea. It is especially easy to add into cereals and other grains. In some cases, bee pollen should be kept in the refrigerator. (check the packaging or as ask your seller.)
