Bee pollen - useful properties and contraindications

Seeing a bee in the city, they try to shrug it off or get away so that it does not stick its sharp sting into the skin. But beekeepers carefully take care of every bee. The benefits of these insects are huge. Departing for fishing, they choose the most valuable substances that are part of pollen and nectar.

We paid attention to the valuable qualities of flower pollen for a long time, and began to use it along with royal jelly and propolis. Of course, it is difficult for people to collect pollen, but the bee copes with this task perfectly. Having flown to the selected flower, with its shaggy legs, the bee catches pollen, which appears thanks to the anther, and carries prey to the hive. There she gradually gathers in a tray. To take advantage of the catch and collect pollen, beekeepers came up with many methods.

However, you need to consider: even if the pollen contains the same beneficial substances, their composition can be very different. It all depends on the type of plant, and what content of valuable substances it contains. Therefore, the percentage of proteins, fats, starch and mineral elements varies, and in the widest range.
