There are as many different pollens as there are various species of

plants, flowers, or vegetation from where a source can be obtained.

Bee pollen is removed from bee's legs as they return to the hive by

means of a mesh hardware cloth. The pollen falls into a trap below

where it is easily collected by the beekeeper. Pollen contains the

richest source yet revealed of vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino

acids, hormones, enzymes and fats.

Scientific Breakdown of pollen:

Proteins (varies with pollen type) 7-35%

8 Essential Amino Acids 10-12%

Reducing Sugars (Honey) 15-43%

Pollen is a natural food guaranteed pure and unadulterated, being

free from insecticides. As a supplementary food, the daily intake

of pollen can be about one tablespoon for persons enjoying good

health. However, for those in poor state of health, invalids or

elderly persons who need a total revitalization, from one to three

tablespoons may be taken daily but start out with 1/2 teaspoon and

work up gradually.

 

Pollen may be taken daily as a food supplement for any period of

time. It is considered best to take the pollen combined with honey

or fruit juice on an empty stomach. The ideal time is thought to be

before a meal, preferably breakfast, when the stomach is completely

empty. It can equally well be taken before other meals during the

day.
