Eden Health Foods Premium West Australian Bee Pollen - Raw & Unprocessed 180g

Premium Western Australian raw sun-dried bee pollen. Slightly sweet but not as sweet as Jarrah. Australian Bee Pollen is collected by bees from the blooms of Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) and Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) trees. The tree is native to Western Australia, where it is a valuable source of pollen and nectar from September to January. This pollen is wildcrafted from the remote Jarrah and Red Gum forests not found near towns or cities or industry of any sort.

What Is Bee Pollen?

In its original state, bee pollen is a fine dust composed of thousands of microscopic particles that enable a plant to reproduce via seed. Pollen is discharged from the anther of a flower and is the major food source for bees and other insects. Worker bees (all females) travel from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollen as they move around. As the pollen covers the bee's body, she brushes and packs it into specialised hairs on her hind legs to take back to the hive.

How Is Bee Pollen Collected?

Worker bees collect more pollen than the hive needs, so bee keepers are able to collect the surplus in a mesh trap. As the bees enter a hive, they pass through a bank of specific sized holes where the pollen is gently removed and falls into a collection tray. The quality and safety of West Australian bee pollen is second to none.

What Is In Bee Pollen?
Bee pollen is a biologically active compound, rich in vitamins, amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, enzymes and other micronutrients. Research at the department of Agriculture and Food has shown that up to 73 fatty acids can be found in pollen.
West Australia has unique plant species in forests and conservation reserves that produce high-quality pollens.
