Bee Pollen Facts
The title of worker bee is appropriately termed given the lengths to
which bee pollen is produced. It takes one bee approximately 240 hours
of work to produce 6 grams of bee pollen. Young bees use this for
nourishment, and it is full of nutrients required for humansnot the
least of which is protein, lecithin, live enzymes, folic acid, vitamins,
and trace minerals. Half of the protein found in bee pollen is even in
its free amino acids form, meaning it is very bio-available.
Royal Jelly Facts
Royal jelly is a milky secretion produced by worker honey bees. It
typically contains about 60% to 70% water, 12% to 15% proteins, 10% to
16% sugar, 3% to 6% fats, and 2% to 3% vitamins, salts, and amino acids.
Its composition varies depending on geography and climate. This product
gets its name from the fact that bees use it for the development and
nurturing of queen bees. Royal jelly transforms a female worker bee into
a Queen Bee. It is her main source of sustenance. In fact, for the
first two days after the female hatches, royal jelly is all she is fed.
On the third day, the other females are fed honey and pollen while the
queens food continues to be royal jelly. It is created when a nurse bee
combines masticated pollen with its own glandular secretions. The
result is a vitalizing tonic that extends the Queen Bees life by at
least twenty times the average bee.
Some people use royal jelly as medicine. Royal jelly is used for asthma,
hay fever, liver disease, pancreatitis, sleep troubles (insomnia),
premenstrual syndrome (PMS), stomach ulcers, kidney disease, bone
fractures, menopausal symptoms, skin disorders, and high cholesterol. It
is also used as a general health tonic, for fighting the effects of
aging, and for boosting the immune system.
