Flower Pollen 125g

Flower pollen: from the flower to the hive Pollen is not produced by bees, which means that the term “bee pollen” is not correct, so we are talking about flower pollen. It comes from the stamens of flowers, that is, from the male reproductive organs. Initially, they are microscopic particles of 20 to 40 microns, their color varies from pale yellow to black depending on the species of flowers. These small grains are bristling with thorns which allows them to be attached in the form of balls that cling to the legs of the bees. Pollen is often the cause of allergies leading, often in the spring, to runny nose, watery eyes. But in fact, the pollen that causes problems for allergy sufferers is the one that is transported by the wind, also called “anemophile”. Conversely, the pollen transported by bees, called “entomophilous” is not allergenic, or only in very rare cases. And this pollen is a real concentrate of benefits!
