What is Bee Pollen?
Honey bee pollen is created from flower pollen bees bring back to the hive. Mixed with nectar and enzymes secreted by worker bees who pack the pollen granules into comb cells, these granules, known as bee pollen or bee bread, are the primary source of protein for bees.
Bee pollen varies in composition depending on the floral pollen collected.
In general, bee pollen consists of 55% carbohydrates, 35% proteins
(and all 22 protein-building amino acids), 3% vitamins (carotenoids, B-complex etc.), minerals (mostly phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium), 2% fatty acids, and 5% other compounds (enzymes, trace elements and antioxidants).
Bee pollen used in NutraBee’s Buzz Off is harvested from hives at a Canadian apiary located in a pollution-free environment. Combining the benefits of bee pollen with 100% pure unprocessed Canadian honey.
