Why does BEE POLLEN give one energy?
What is Bee Pollen?



Bee pollen contains trace amounts of minerals and vitamins and is very high in protein and carbohydrates.



Bee pollen is not found in the everyday diet. It is found in nutritional supplements and Chinese herbal medicine products.



Why Do People Use Bee Pollen?



Bee pollen has been used to enhance energy, memory and performance, although there is no scientific evidence that it does. Bee pollen is also taken to prevent hay fever. Some people believe that ingesting pollens will help to build resistance to them, although it is possible to have a severe allergic reaction to these pollens.



Safety



Serious allergic reactions to bee pollen have been reported, including potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.





Bee bread or bee pollen is the main source of food for most honey bees and their larvae.



It is fed to all larvae except those that are destined to become queens; the queen larvae are fed royal jelly instead.



Bee bread consists of honey and pollens which are gathered by the worker bees.



A recent study of bee bread showed it contain 188 kinds of fungi and 29 kinds of bacteria.



Bee bread is sometimes referred to as ambrosia.



Bee bread is used in naturopathic medicine traditions and as a nutritional supplement, though no studies confirm its effects and exposure can trigger allergic or anaphylactic reactions in sensitive people.



In the the above information A term 'Royal jelly' has come up, so some information on it as well !!!



Royal jelly is a honey bee secretion that is used in the nutrition of the larvae.



It is secreted from the hypopharyngeal glands in the heads of young workers and used (amongst other substances) to feed all of the larvae in the colony, including those destined to become workers.



If a queen is needed, the hatchling will receive only royal jelly - and in large quantities - as its food source for the first four days of its growth, and this rapid, early feeding triggers the development of queen morphology, including the fully developed ovaries needed to lay eggs.



Some commercial royal jelly suppliers disseminate misinformation such as "Only queen larvae and adult queens are fed royal jelly",

the fact remains that all larvae in a colony are fed royal jelly, and adult bees do not consume it at all.



Cultivation of Royal jelly ---



Royal jelly is produced by stimulating colonies with movable frame hives to produce queen bees.



Royal jelly is collected from each individual queen cell when the larva is about four days old.



It is collected from queen cells because these are the only cells in which large amounts are deposited; when royal jelly is fed to worker larvae, it is fed directly to them, and they consume it as it is produced, while the cells of queen larvae are "stocked" with royal jelly much faster than the larva can consume it.



Therefore, only in queen cells is the harvest of royal jelly practical.



A well-managed hive during a season of 5-6 months can produce approximately 500g of royal jelly.



Since the product is perishable, producers must have immediate access to proper cold storage (e.g., a household refrigerator or freezer) in which the royal jelly is stored until it is sold or conveyed to a collection centre.



This product is combined with honey for preservation, as it spoils easily.



Uses and Composition of Royal jelly --



People collect and sell royal jelly as a dietary supplement, claiming various health benefits because of components like B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine); it can also be found in various beauty products.



The overall composition of royal jelly is 67% water, 12.5% crude protein (including small amounts of many different amino acids), and 11% simple sugars, also including a relatively high amount (5%) of fatty acids.



It also contains many trace minerals, some enzymes, antibacterial and antibiotic components, and trace amounts of vitamin C.

Contrary to claims by many of those promoting its use, vitamins A, D and E are completely absent from royal jelly .



Independent research has already disproved, or is needed to confirm or disprove, many of the purported health claims, such as reports of hormonal activity (unknown in the bees themselves; the most abundant sterol is cholesterol, which is not itself a hormone).



To date, there is only preliminary evidence that it may have some cholesterol-lowering effects, as well as immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing and antibiotic effects, though the last three of these effects are unlikely to be realized if ingested (digestion of the subtances involved, or neutralization via changes in pH).
