Bee Pollen

Pollen is not the same as allergy-causing pollen that is carried by the wind. It rarely causes allergy symptoms. It is actually the male seed of a flower blossom which are collected by the honey bees and mixed with the bees’ digestive enzymes. Then they feed it to their young eggs and larvae in the hive. It is the protein part of their diet and both adults and young will eat what is called bee bread.
