Home -> Shop By Store -> Bee PollenBee PollenWhat is Bee Pollen ?Bee pollen is plant pollen carried by bees to the hive where it is gathered by placing brushes at the hive's entrance knocking the pollen off the bees as they enter. Bee pollen is said to consist of 40% plant carbohydrate, 5% plant fat, and 5% plant protein--the remaining 50% is fungus, bacteria, insect body parts and hairs, mites, and bee fecal material. As anyone with hay fever knows, pollens are among the most allergic substances in nature. The popularity of idea that bee pollen is healthful is hard to understand considering the widespread public knowledge of allergies. However, one must also take into consideration the fascination many have with any bee-related substance. Other bee-related items that have caught the public's fancy are royal jelly (fed to queen bees to make them fertile), propolis (the glue that holds hive parts together), honey (bee vomit), honey comb (bee's wax and vomit), and even bee stings for arthritis or multiple sclerosis. None of these have proven scientific value, and several have potential for harm. Although rare bee-related items can cause serious, even fatal reactions. |
