What is bee pollen?

A honeybee collects hundreds, sometimes millions of pollen grains from a single flower. The bees pack the pollen into granules with the help of special combs and hairs on their hind legs, and a sticky substance secreted from their stomachs. Carrying two granules at a time they travel back to the hive with their hard earned loot that will eventually be fed to their young. On occasion, beekeepers will attach a small box fitted with a screen in the doorway of a hive. The screen allows the bees to enter, but it carefully and harmlessly removes the small granules of pollen from their legs. Beekeepers collect only a small amount from any given hive, so as not to deprive the bees of the bulk of their food source. The collected granules are then packaged and sold under the name, bee pollen.

What are the benefits of consuming bee pollen?

Bee pollen is touted as being great for everything from boosting your immune system, enhancing energy levels, slowing the aging process, curing infertility problems and preventing colds and the flu. Local bee pollen is even said to have the same or greater effect as local honey on reducing seasonal allergies. All the benefits of bee pollen are unfortunately not supported by medical research, which is why you have to decide for yourself if you want to give it a try.

How do you take bee pollen?

Always use your best judgment when adding something new to your diet. Adults can try adding bee pollen a ¼ teaspoon at a time and should not exceed two teaspoons a day. Children should start with only a few granules and should not exceed a ½ teaspoon a day.

If you are interested in taking bee pollen for health reasons or in hopes of reducing the effects of seasonal allergies you must proceed with caution. Even if you never had an allergic reaction to pollen or bee products before, you should take bee pollen very slowly and in very small quantities at first. Anyone who is known to be allergic to honey or bees should definitely not consume bee pollen.

Beeswax is a wonderful substance - a natural wax secreted by worker honeybees. Beeswax has been used across the globe since the dawn of civilization. It has been used to make food, cosmetics and medicine. Our organic, all natural beeswax is good for both cosmetic and medicinal applications. It comes packed into small pastilles, ensuring that it will be convenient and easy to use. Our beeswax is a very fragrant, clean, and perfectly filtered product without the debris and muddy color found in typical waxes. Beeswax has considerable water-holding capacity. Adding it to body care products, salves, lotions and cosmetics will improve their appearance and consistency. You can also use them to make your own aromatic candles. As they fill your rooms with a pure, pleasant scent, they will emit negative ions that will help reduce unpleasant odors, dust, pollen and other allergen. Beeswax candles emit virtually no smoke, and they burn hotter and brighter than most other candles. Beeswax is suitable for food and cosmetic uses.
