What is bee pollen?

Bee pollen comes from the blossoms harvested by the bees, the pollen is collected on their bodies and legs. As they arrive in the hive a carefully placed frame knocks some of the pollen from the bees. This pollen falls down and is collected by the bee keeper.

Bee pollen is considered to be a new superfood because of it contains a balanced combination of vitamins, proteins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, enzymes and essential amino acids. Bee pollen has a range of therapeutic benefits.
