Bee pollen is essentially all of the mineral matter inside of flowers that the honeybees gather (they play around inside the flower to collect it) and bring back to the hive on their wings and legs. Pollen grains are microscopic in size and bees collect millions of these individual grains, connecting them with nectar into small pellets. Beekeepers collect the pollen from the bees by placing a mesh collection device at the entrance to the hive that the bees go through. This device gathers between 10 and 50 percent of the pollen that the bees are carrying into a tray below, leaving a sufficient amount for the hive’s needs. Pollen then has been dried at a hive’s natural temperature or less (not above 38° C or 96° F) by the use of dehumidifiers and air coolers in an airtight room. This way the pollen retains its complete nutritional value. Dried pollen needs to be dried to less than 10 percent moisture to stop natural fermentation and spoilage. Bee pollen, as sold, appears as granular particles that are usually the size of sesame or flaxseeds. Fresh bee pollen is a delightful treat. Fresh bee pollen often has a soft, light, fluffy texture and the taste is full and rich. Dried bee pollen is dehydrated and its grains become harder in texture. The best pollen has a variation of coloured granules, ranging across the colour spectrum. Bee may travel up to 7 miles a day collecting nectar, as pollen clings to it’s legs via static electricity.
