A good source of proteins and vitamins, nature’s multivitamin.
Pollen is extremely rich in protein. It contains all the essential amino acids, various fatty acids, vitamins B, C, D, E and K, and provitamin A.
Bees get covered in pollen as they collect nectar from plants, then they enrich it with different ferments, hormones and antibiotic substances, and deposit it in honeycomb cells. If we extract these balls of pollen out from inside a honeycomb cell, we get extracted honeycomb pollen or bee bread. If we install a pollen trap at the entrance to the hive, we get trapped in fresh pollen. When bees try to squeeze through the wire of a pollen trap, pollen loads fall off their hind legs.
