Bee Pollen granules

Every granule is a load that a single honeybee packed onto her hind legs and flew home from the flowers.

Origin & Traditional Use

Honeybees gather pollen as the protein food of the hive. Beekeepers collect it with a pollen trap at the hive entrance that gently brushes the pellets from the bees’ legs, and it is eaten as a food.
