Pollen are the reproductive cells found in the heads of the reproductive organs of plants. Pollen is used by bees in the feeding of juveniles and the feeding of young worker bees that secrete royal jelly.

It is a very rich substance in structure and it contains vitamins (Niacin (B3), Pyridoxine (B6), Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Pantothenic acid (B5), Folic acid, Biotin (protein).

Although honey comes to mind at first when we say bee; In fact, the contribution of bees to both the environment and humanity is much more extensive. Perhaps the contribution of bees to pollination, which holds together the balance of plants and even living things in the whole world, is indisputable. Honey bees are carriers that are actively involved in the reproduction of plants. While bees take pollen and nectar from the plant to meet their own needs, they also contribute to the pollination of the plant’s flowers. While bees get honey nectar from flowering plants, pollen powders adhere to their bodies and fill the pollen baskets on their hind legs with the help of the legs of the bees. When the bees return to the hives, they leave these pollen in the honeycomb eyes. Pollen is the main protein source for bees to complete their growth and development and for the development of their glands. Apart from protein, it contains vitamins and minerals as well as nutrients such as fat, carbohydrate and fiber.

The protein ratio of pollen is higher than peanuts, green lentils, single peas, beans and even turkey meat. This ratio is almost equivalent to ripe cheddar cheese and cooked doner meat. As such, we are talking about a very high protein source. Of course, this situation is a benefit and gift to us from the Anatolian geography, where bees collect the pollen.

Another noteworthy component is; is the ratio of fiber. So much so, 100 gr. Pollen 13 gr. It contains fiber.
