Bee Pollen

Pollen is the male seed of flowers. It is required for the fertilization of the plant. The tiny particles consist of 50/1,000-millimeter corpuscles, formed at the stamen’s free end in the heart of the blossom. It is important to know that the production of one teaspoon of pollen takes a bee one month work to gather. As bees buzz from blossom to blossom, microscopic pollen particles coat their stubby little bodies so densely that they sometimes look like little yellow fuzz balls. Each bee pollen pellet contains over two million flower pollen grains and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen.
Pollen is the most important food for the bees and it contains a long list of nutritions. This is the ultimate superfood!

It should be stored in refrigerator at not more than 6’C!

Bee pollen needs to be dissolved in advance because bees make a very thin cellulose layer which wouldn’t completely dissolve in the stomach. The easiest way to do this is to put the daily dose of pollen in some water with honey OR few spoons of yogurt for couple of hours (better from the night before). In the morning the little pollen granules are melted down and it is ready for eating.
