Gathered by honeybees from flowers, bee pollen is foraged for the nest of the hive as a food source for young bees. It is considered one of nature's most nourishing foods, as it contains nearly all nutrients required by humans. Bee-gathered pollens are rich in protein, free forming amino acids and vitamins, including the B-complex and folic acid.

Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements that products of animal origin do not possess. Bee pollen is richer in proteins than any animal source. It contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be used directly by the body. 

One teaspoon dose of pollen takes one bee working eight hours a day for one month to gather. Each bee pollen pellet contains over two million flower pollen grains and one teaspoonful contains over 2.5 billion grains of flower pollen.
