Bee pollen is a powerhouse of nutrition!
Bee pollen is 40% amino acids (proteins) in weight jam packed with other things like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, co-enzymes and so many more elements that are still unknown to science - And its all combined into a what I call Universal granules for health - because its like a mini universe contained in a granule - all super beneficial to overall health.
What is Bee Pollen Exactly?
Bee pollen is the male reproductive spore of the flowering plant and there are literally thousands of these individual spores within each full-size pollen grain.
The actual particle is microscopic in size, but as the bee gathers more, it snowballs into a pellet size ball. Bees are typically fuzzy and carry an electrostatic charge which enables grains of pollen to stick to their bodies. Honeybees and bumblebees collect this pollen on their hind legs into a structure called the corbicula or "pollen basket."
Each individual grain is extracted from the flower, joined together with nectar and the bees own digestive enzymes to create an energy dense food source. This food is collected by the worker bees and then used by the queen bee to feed the young bee larvae or "brood", which nest inside the cells of the honeycomb.
Note:
The bees still have plenty of pollen to feed the hive.
As the bees fly back into they're hive the excess pollen is knocked off into the collection trap. which is simply a screen (specially designed to only knock off a small portion of the pollen and leaving the rest to the bees) that they pass threw and a collection drawer usually located on the bottom of the beehive.
These pollen traps tend to fill up quite fast in the warmer seasons, when more flowers are available, and produce less in the winter months.
I do not recommend buying from sellers who harvest this natural superfood without regard to our hard working bees.
History of Bee Product Consumption
Human efforts to domesticate wild bees is depicted in Egyptian art about 4,500 years ago. However, a complete understanding of bee colonies did not occur until the 18th century when Europeans first created the moveable beehive.
In addition to pollen, the beehive also produces propolis, raw honey and the infamous royal jelly, reserved exclusively for the queen bee and her eggs. All of these bee products have been consumed extensively throughout human history.
They are so easy to carry anywhere on the go. Have them for when you need the power to keep going but cant stop for food. Carry a pouch of bee pollen and pop a few pinch fulls into your mouth and let it melt into your soul and rush energy into your cells for a clean efficient powerful energy boost.
Bee pollen is the food of the young bee and it is approximately 40% protein. It is considered one of nature's most completely nourishing foods. It contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be used directly by the body.
Bee Pollen Health Benefits:
Bee pollen provides deep cellular energy.
Bee pollen contains all the nutrients necessary to meet everyones nutritional needs, infact one can live solely off bee pollen and water!
Bee Pollen is able to promote benefits in the form of healing and rejuvenation. (keeping one youthful!) Some nutritionists state that you could live adequately on bee pollen alone. Science shows that bee pollen, that wondrous yet mysterious nectar, has natural rejuvenating powers, aids beauty, boosts energy, extends life span, fights allergies (and possibly even cancer) and relieves digestive disorders.
High in Protein and Other Energizing Nutrients
Because it is a pre-digested food, it easily moves through the digestive tract and it is quickly absorbed and utilized by the body. This is a unique and specialized feature designed to feed developing bee larvae. It is also believed to enhance muscle mass in humans as it exhibits natural steroid-like effects as well as contains growth supporting amino acids and protein. For this reason, bee pollen is used by many bodybuilders and athletes around the world as a dietary supplement that helps to improve strength and increase performance.
Bee pollen bursts with easily-assimilated protein and lecithin, which nourish the brain and nervous system.
Bee pollen self digests and can help prepare and aid the body in digesting food.
Bee pollen is the only natural food that contains almost all of the 22 elements of which the human body is composed.
Beepollen contains a rich supply of the B-complex vitamins and folic acid, vitamins A, C, E, carotenoids, amino acids, some essential fatty acids, and a wide variety of minerals.
