RESEARCH BRIEF
In the course of their work, a bee will visit as many as 1,500 blossoms. A single granule of bee pollen contains from five hundred thousand to five million live pollen spores. Pollen is the male seed of flowers. It is required to fertilize the plant. The tiny particles consist of 50/1000ths of a millimeter corpuscles, which are formed at the free end of the stamen. Every variety flower in the universe puts forth a dusting of pollen. Once a bee arrives at a flower, she settles on the stamen and nimbly scrapes off the powdery loose pollen with her jaws and front legs. She then moistens it with a dab of the honey she brought with her from the hive. The pollen is then stored around the furry legs of the bee. When its baskets are fully loaded, the microscopic golden dust has been tamped down into a single golden granule. A device dislodges a measure of the pollen as the bees enter the hive, while permitting the bees to retain a sufficient portion of the life-giving golden dust for the maintenance of the colony. The device is equipped with a series of scientifically-designed wire grids through which the bees must pass to gain entrance to the colony. As they make their way through the grids, approximately sixty percent of the pollen is gently brushed out of their pollen baskets. It falls through a screen into the pollen drawer situated beneath the trap. The pollen trap allows sufficient pollen to pass through the grids into the colony for the care and feeding of the hive population.
Bee Pollen has been called nature's perfect food. It is very rich in vitamins and contains almost all known minerals, trace elements, enzymes and amino acids. Bee pollen is a popular nutritional supplement that provides a variety of vitamins and minerals as well as the nutrients comprising the pollen as a 'whole-food.' This combination of elements make bee pollen an excellent source of antioxidants. Athletes often use this supplement to help increase their strength, endurance, energy and speed.
