Buzzing around the basics of Bee Pollen

Let’s start by getting down to brass tacks: what exactly is bee pollen?

It’s important to understand that bees utilize pollen as their main source of food. They gather the fine powder from flowering plants and carry it back to their hive in sacs attached to their legs called corbiculae (also known as ‘pollen baskets’) – which sounds far more glam than any storage container humans invented.

Beekeepers often collect these corbiculae after they brush off the bees so they can harvest items like honey and wax.

The outcome: tiny grains of plant matter dubbed bee pollen — also known on occasion as “ambrosia”— which informs how outstanding it truly must be if even Greek gods used before meals!.
