Bee Pollen

What is Bee Pollen?
In its original state, bee pollen is a fine powder composed of thousands of microscopic particles which are discharged from the anther of a flower. Pollen is a major food source for the bees and the ¡°worker¡± bees travel from flower to flower collecting pollen in special baskets on their legs. Worker bees collect more than the hive needs, so beekeepers have devised screens to scrape off some pollen as the bees enter the hive.

Known as ambrosia or food of the gods pollen has been used for centuries as a food source and to increase energy and stamina. The Ancient Greek Olympians used pollen to improve their performance in the arena, and modern athletes have followed their example.

Bee Pollen is rich in vitamins (especially vitamins B12 and E ), has 22 amino acids, 27 minerals ( including calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron ), trace elements and over 5000 enzymes and coenzymes.
