The importance of pollen for bees and the human body

For a bee colony, flower pollen is an irreplaceable source of nutrition. Bees use it as food and also need it for the production of royal jelly, which is fed to the bee brood and the queen. Pollen grains contain a diverse range of naturally occurring substances.

Specialized beekeeping literature, such as the publication Beekeeping, describes the beneficial use of pollen for loss of appetite, spring fatigue, mental exhaustion, or asthenia. Its components may contribute to overall vitality and regeneration of the body and support the normal condition of hair and nails. Traditionally, pollen is also associated with supporting potency and fertility.

Pollen pellets are collected using a special pollen trap installed at the hive entrance, which captures a portion of the pollen loads as the bees return from foraging. The collection is carried out gently so that the colony retains a sufficient amount of pollen for its own needs.

Color, size, and taste of pollen pellets

Each jar of flower pollen is unique. The color, aroma, taste, and size of the pellets vary depending on the plants the bees visited during foraging. The pollen can be white, yellow, orange, red, purple, or dark brown.

Its taste is most often gently sweet and floral. However, some batches may have a slightly bitter tone, a honey note, or an aroma reminiscent of freshly dried summer hay. The varying size of the pellets may also affect the apparent fullness of the jar. However, the declared weight of the product is always maintained.

How much work is hidden in a pollen pellet

Behind every gram of pollen lies the extraordinary diligence of bees. A single bee flies out of the hive approximately four to six times a day. Collecting a pair of pollen loads takes her roughly 20 to 80 minutes, depending on conditions.

Two pollen pellets weigh only 8 to 25 mg, yet they may contain approximately 3 to 4 million pollen grains. Bees store about 0.3 g of pollen in a single comb cell, which corresponds to the amount needed to rear approximately two young bees. An entire bee colony consumes approximately 5 to 6 kg of pollen during the spring period.

Important notice

The use of bee pollen is not recommended for oncological diseases, such as prostate or kidney cancer. It has not been reliably proven how pollen may affect tumor growth. In case of health problems or ongoing treatment, consult your physician before using it.

Bee pollen may cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. If you are using it for the first time, start with a small amount and monitor your body's response.

Other ways to consume pollen

If you prefer a milder taste and easier dosing, you can also try flower pollen in honey, which contains approximately 5% pollen. Another option is bee bread, also known as perga, which has undergone natural processing directly within the bee colony and tends to be more easily digestible for the human body.
