The Honey Bees Miracle Process

Honeybees live in hives as part of colonies and collect various substances in nature for their own food and hive uses. 

Some substances are used for their hive nutrition, nesting material, and others for protection from predictors and harsh weather.

The Miracle Process

The worker bees travel from flower to flower collecting nectar. 

During their search they're looking for the best pollen within a given area. 

During their travels bees visit various plant species, but each pollen load comes from a single plant.

While bees are sucking nectar from flowers, some of the pollen sticks their body hairs. The honey bee uses its forelegs to comb the pollen from its hairs and adds a little of it's own saliva to help roll it into a ball to transport to the beehive.

The bee flies with the pollen loads in its hind legs to the beehive to transfer to the house bees. The house bees use their heads to push these pollen loads into the honeycomb cells, with a small amount of saliva and honey, this mixture ripens into bee bread.

Using secretions from their head glands to process bee bread into bee milk and royal jelly, which form together with the eggs and brood. This occurs on the inside of the comb nest.

Nutrition Facts

Bee pollen nutrition benefits our health in many ways because of valuable levels of vitamins and minerals. The "miracle work of nature" has relatively high levels of Lecithin, Bioflavonoids, Dietary Antioxidants and in particular, Polyphenols which are all important to our general health.

The bee pollen nutrients are very concentrated meaning that even small amounts can provide effective and valuable levels of nutritional value.

The patterns of amino acid in pollen determines its biological value. Because bees collect from various plants,the different plants create a multi coloured mixture of bee pollen loads usually containing a good composition.

I believe bee pollen should be a part of everyone's diet because essential components of nutrition are missing from modern diets since we generally opt not to eat our recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables, and because the foods we do eat are nutritionally deficient.

Because of the vast nutrition that it supplies, it's a great natural source of essential Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes, Co-enzymes, Protein, and Amino Acids, Micronutrients, and Beneficial Fatty Acids.

Depending on the pollen loads collected, bee pollen averages contain: Amino acids 15-25% - Carbohydrates 40% - Protein 35% - Fatty oils 5%

One of the major health benefits is accomplished by stimulating the metabolic processes in the body.

One of the most significant functions carried out by the super food is the initiation of burning calories.

Although some may believe this in itself is very important, there are other benefits. The "power food" contains all of the 22 essentials that make up the human system. Very Impressive!

This miracle work of nature has virtually all the B complex vitamins, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Rutin (Vitamin P), which strengthens capillaries and blood cell walls.
