What is Bee Pollen?
Bee pollen is the pollen gathered by bees from flowers, mixed with their saliva and nectar, and formed into tiny granules stored in the hive. It serves as a primary food source for the hive, packed with essential nutrients that support bee health. For humans, bee pollen is a natural superfood, offering a unique blend of proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. At Buzzy Honey Bee, our bee pollen is harvested from our apiaries in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, where our bees collect from diverse plants, including wildflowers, lime trees, and other native flora. Each jar is labelled with its specific origin, such as “Bee Pollen from Sherwood Forest” or “Bee Pollen from Derbyshire Dales,” reflecting the unique environmental characteristics of these areas.
