Evaluating Bee Pollen Energy Claims

By Lila Barry


There ate many people who believe that bee pollen energy is a benefit of ingesting this product of the hive. They are not all retailers of this super food, either. Nutritionists, natural food enthusiasts, personal trainers, athletes, and cancer victims are among those who attest to the benefits of the nutrient-packed substance.

Composed of pollen from thousands of blossoms that the bees mix with nectar and saliva, this natural product is over a third protein, vital for larvae who will rapidly grow into adult bees. The honeybee is noted for never-ceasing activity, so it needs a good start in life more than most creatures. Bee pollen is one of nature's super foods.

Just as eggs are packed with nutrition for developing chicks, bee pollen is designed to enable the fast-growing young bees develop into workers, nurse bees, drones, and even queens. The bees carry this flower dust home on the hairs on their legs. Some of it comes off on each blossom the insect visits, carrying out the process of pollination.

Fortunately for all, the bees collect far more of this life-carrying substance than the hive needs. Beekeepers install special collecting devices at the entrances of hives to remove some of the dust before the bees enter. Other pollen is collected from the hive, having already been processed by the bees into a dense nutritional food. The 'dirty honey' at the bottom of the hive is not clouded by bee waste but full of this life-giving dust; it is thought to be one reason for the longevity of some rural peoples, who sell their pure honey and use the less-desired but far richer remainder.

Like with many other nutritional products, some consumers might reap great benefits from taking this natural food. People with a high need for B vitamins or whose daily diet is poor in nutrients might feel a real difference. Someone with a more balanced and complete diet might not notice a significant surge of energy or an increased sense of well-being. Both individuals, however, will be eating a nutritionally-packed, natural substance that is one of nature's 'perfect foods'.

Processing of any food can render it less nutritious. It is important to make sure that the product you pay good money for has not been damaged by high heat or chemicals used during production. If bee pollen is properly prepared, it will retain its living enzymes, fragile vitamins, and full complement of minerals.

It is important to select a product that has not been denatured during processing. High heat or chemical treatments can rob even the most perfect natural food of its goodness. Testing of the product after processing can allow the producer to assure consumers that they will get all the benefits of this super food.

There is a good case for believing that bee pollen energy is a fact, not a myth. If you are looking for an endurance enhancer or just want to feel your best, you should check out this super food. A good quality product can add a lot to your physical and mental performance and your health.
