Description:  Bee Pollen, a “super food”, is a granular product made by honeybees that consists of honey or plant nectar and collected pollen.  The golden gains collected by honeybees contain the male reproductive cells of flowering plants.  To this material, each bee contributes its own digestive enzymes to help the pollen adhere to the tiny collection “baskets” on their rear legs as they forage.  Bee pollen is a unique and chemically diverse substance with no two samples being exactly alike, even when taken from the same hive.

On average, however, all bee pollen is abundantly rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.  With a nutritional profile that includes every nutrient necessary to maintain life and good health for humans as well as honeybees, it’s no wonder bee pollen is a “super food”.  This amazing substance contains all 22 essential amino acids and all 28 minerals required by the human body.  Bee pollen also contains up to 35% protein, most of which is in the form of free amino acids.  It is also rich in fatty acids, nearly a dozen enzymes and coenzymes and vitamins A, B, C, D, E, H (biotin) and K.  It contains almost all of the nutrients required by the human body to thrive. That’s why the German Federal Board of Health has officially recognized it as a medicine.

Bee pollen is wonderful for natural allergy relief and is responsible for the many health benefits of raw honey. It’s rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids and fatty acids, enzymes, carotenoids and bioflavonoids — making it an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agent that strengthens the capillaries, reduces inflammation, stimulates the immune system and lowers cholesterol levels naturally.

Historical Uses:  super food, general overall health, allergy relief, well-being

Mystical Attributes:  Some accounts note bees as being familiars of witches.

Bees have been worn and carried as charms to encourage wealth and abundance.  Bee charm bags have been hung in the home to bring good fortune.

Bees are associated with hard work, being busy, and industry, and many expressions have developed, such as “busy as a bee.”

Images of honey bees and their hives are present on ancient artefacts associated with goddesses, religions, and ancient cities.  Bees appear in ancient religious texts.

Mystical Intentions:  hard work, dedication, community, luck, abundance, gardening, good fortune, wealth

Contraindications & Toxicity: 

• ALLERGY INFORMATION : Bee pollen should not be confused with wind-blown pollen that triggers seasonal allergies. The latter type of pollen is lighter in weight and contains anemophile pollen grains, which honeybees pass over in favor of entomophile pollen grains because of their superior nutritional value.  However, caution may be warranted if you are allergic to the pollen of plants in the ragweed family, for example, or other flowering plants that honeybees frequently visit.  Note that plant diversity, and therefore pollen content, is governed by the region in which each hive resides. It is highly unlikely that you will experience an allergic reaction from consuming bee products just because you are allergic to bee venom.  In addition, the presence of quercetin in bee pollen, which inhibits the release of histamine, may offer a protective effect.
