"Our study is the first to suggest a connection between the bacteria that inhabit the bees’ guts, the foods they eat, and physiological differences related to aging, stress and longevity," says Kirk Anderson, a research microbiologist with the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Tucson, Arizona. Anderson is also an adjunct scientist in the Department of Entomology and Center for Insect Science in the UA's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences."
The article goes on to talk about how certain bacteria effects a worker bee verses a queen bee and the longer lifespan a queen has and the connection we have as humans to the same process. One of our favorite parts of the article is when they mention Royal Jelly...
"The workers will feed her only royal jelly, which they produce in specialized glands. You can think of royal jelly as a type of super food, the bee's equivalent of breast milk, supporting beneficial bacteria and containing antimicrobial peptides. The study suggests that royal jelly, which enhances the growth of queen-specific gut microbes, sets the queen on a trajectory toward a much longer life..."
Bee Pollen granules differ in size, shape and weight even color ranging from bright yellow to black all depending on the plant type. While it is obvious that the chemical compounds of Bee Pollen can vary depending on the plant from which it was gathered, you can be sure that pollen contains essentials nutrients such as proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, lipids, phenolics, enzymes, coenzymes, flavonoids, vitamins and minerals. Most individual who take bee pollen as a dietary supplement will do so by sprinkling the granules on their cereal, maybe dissolve it in their water so simply by swallowing a given amount.
Another bee hive product is Propolis, a plant derived resinous product that foraging bees produce by collecting resin from buds and other plant tissues. It is mixed with their wax and pollen into a malleable compact substance used to repair their hive. Propolis contains important vitamins, useful minerals, enzymes, fatty acids and organic compounds.
Last but certainly not least is Royal Jelly. A yellowish-white substance secreted from the honey bees salivary glands. In it can be found amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, phenolics, minerals, fatty acids, bio-active compounds and proteins. The most and main abundant protein is known as Royalactin. Royal Jelly is exclusively fed to Queen Bees and newly hatched larvae.
Then in 2008 the first WHO Congress on Traditional Medicines met in Bejiing, Chine and adopted six key articles known as the Bejiing Declaration. Points in which govements should have a responsibility for the health of their people, and the knowledge of traditional medicines, treatments and practices should be respected, preserved, promoted and communicated widely and appropriately based on the circumstances in each country. You can read more here:
| Vitamins are organic substances made by plants and animals, which are then eaten by humans. However, Vitamin D and Vitamin K are made by the body in small amounts | Minerals are inorganic substances that are not made by living things. Minerals are found naturally in soil and water and are absorbed by plants, which are then eaten by people and other animals |

Big News For 2019!
Did you know that at the end of November 2018, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimated that veterans accounted for roughly 40,000 homeless.
And that friends, is 40,000 too many.
So for the entire month of January a portion of the sales from ALL of our Bee Products are going to be donated to the Disabled American Veterans - a nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations and their families. They have served us and the least we can do is serve them in return.
Bee Pollen Granules - 16oz (454g)
Sold out
Pollen is the male germinating seed collected by the Honey Bee as it goes from plant to plant gathering nectar that will be converted to honey once they are back to their hive. They carry the pollen on their hind legs in specialized structures called Pollen Baskets or "Corbiculae" in Latin. Pollen traps located to the entrance of the hive are used to collect parts of the Pollen basket, making sure to leave some for the bee as well. In return, it helps to mobilize the bee by increasing the number of field bees and number of gathering flights. Pollen grains differ in size, shape and weight, even color, ranging from bright yellow to black, all depending on the plant type.
While it is obvious that the chemical compounds of Bee Pollen can vary depending on the plant from which it was gathered, you can be sure that pollen contains essentials nutrients such as proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, lipids, phenolics, enzymes, coenzymes, flavonoids, vitamins and minerals.
