Let?s sting you into action here in the nicest possible way by telling you all about the wonders of bee pollen and its fantastic uses. Our winged friends are around us all summer doing great work for all of us.

So What is Pollen?

Well most people know it?s the male seed from flowers needed for the fertilisation of the plant. As for bee pollen then this is the food of the young bee containing 40 percent protein, half of which contains amino acids ready to use. It can balance the nutrients within the body.

Bee Pollen Is Nature?s Complete Food

How Is It Gathered?

This is the wonderful bit??.the bee spots a flower and then settles herself in before scraping off loose pollen from the stamen. To do this she uses both her jaws and front legs and wets the stamen with a little honey brought from the hive. Her legs contain thick bristles called pollen combs for obvious reasons.

She can then both fly away and sweep the gold powder from both her coat and legs into her baskets by using her auricle which acts like a hammer. These baskets are found on the outside of her tibias and once this microscopic powder is hammered down it becomes a single particle. Then it?s back to the hive and the process continues.

One teaspoon of pollen takes one bee a single month to gather working eight hours a day.
