Fresh, tasty and straight from local hives, California Bee Pollen.
Bee pollen is a stunning food, completely unique as are all food products we get from bees. Bee pollen is actually flower pollen that is collected by bees as they visit the tens of thousands of flowers they visit in a week. It collects on small sacs on the bee's hind legs and accumulates as they stop at each flower, this is also how bees pollinate flowers.
The pollen we feature comes to fresh and soft, because it is hand collected in a manner that does no harm to the bees. The bees that provide our pollen live in hives that are placed in the vast organic Avocado, Orange and Lemon groves of Southern California. This fresh pollen is loaded with nutrients and comes to you fresh, as it is kept under constant refrigeration until it leaves our door.
Bee Pollen is a unique food source; here is a list of its noted nutritional components.
• All essential amino acids, a complete protein
• Vitamins A, B Complex series C, D, E, K and Rutin
• 28 Minerals - Trace Mineral needed for good health
• Enzymes and Co-Enzymes for good digestion
It is also a popular spring food that has been used to help the body cope with the spring allergy season. So if you are a Southern California resident suffering from seasonal allergies consider adding some of our local bee pollen to your diet.
Bees work tirelessly to pollinate food crops, which is vital to our well being; it is not only vital but absolutely essential because with our their efforts we would be at a complete loss. Many of the foods we get from bees are beneficial to human health, so thanks to bees we get to enjoy their foods and the foods of the field and orchards that they pollinate.
But they do need our help as there has been a situation going on for sometime called colony collapse disorder. To learn more about this disorder and 5 simple steps you can take to help visit this link.
