Bee pollen is one of nature’s most powerful foods. It is flower pollen that honeybees collect for food. Pollen supplies all the bee’s nutrients for brood rearing as well as for adult growth and development. Without adequate pollen supplies a colony could not exist. This same treasure of nutrients which sustains the bees also serves as a superfood for humans. The nutrients found in bee pollen are extremely high quality nutrients that are helpful in maintaining and promoting health. Our bee-collected pollen consists of a blend of pollen grains derived from dozens of wild plants, trees and grasses. The bees need a mixture of different pollens because they are perennial, nutrient-demanding, large colonies that must obtain a year round supply of food. When given a choice bees prefer to consume a mixed pollen diet and survive longer when fed mixtures than when fed one-species pollen diets (Schmidt, 1984 and Schmidt et al., 1987). Thus the nutritional makeup of wildflower bee pollen is extremely broad spectrum. The wide range of nutrients include polyphenols, enzymes, beneficial fatty acids, free amino acids, vitamin complexes, chelated minerals and trace elements. These nutrients are very concentrated, this means that, as a food source it is a low volume, high intensity (nutrient rich) food.
