What are the main benefits of bee Pollen?
Bee Pollen is a complete food, providing all the nutrients necessary to life and health. It is useful in treating digestive disorders especially E.Coli.

It also restores both male and female hormones. Especially intensity of ovulation is increased - thereby increasing a woman's chance of becoming pregnant. P.M.S. can be alleviated. Prostate enlargement may be reversed. Pollen can help normalise cholesterol, raise haemoglobin for Anaemia and is also beneficial in weight control.

What is the difference between Bee Pollen and the kind of Pollen that causes hay fever?
Bee Pollen is a mixture of bee saliva, plant nectar and (true) Pollen. It differs from wind-borne Pollens in that its component is purely entomophile from plants - i.e. those that are essential for the fertilisation, and which are dispersed by insects.

Wind-borne Pollens are the heavier, anemophile variety, which are implicated in allergies.

Can bee Pollen actually help me reduce my hay fever symptoms?
It is important to separate bee pollen (entomophilic pollen) from its close cousin airborne pollen (anemophilic), the latter being the pollen that causes hay fever and other related allergies.

Allergies such as asthama or hay fever are caused by pollen introduced into the respiratory system. But scientists have found that bee pollen can help build immunity and that there is a difference between inhaled pollen and the bee pollen product.

Airborne allergies can be caused by breathing in the anemophilous pollens carried by the wind. To help build a form of natural immunity, the body requires a supply of entomophilous pollens (gathered by bees from a variety of different blossoms) that will act as a barrier or shield against the wind-borne and inhaled pollens responsible for allergic reactions.

Bee-collected pollens are very often sticky and heavy so cannot be carried by the wind. These pollens are healing, because when bees form them into pellets or granules, they add nectar and saliva. This neutralises and destroys any allergic principle (if one existed) and makes bee pollen a respiratory system strengthening food helping to heal and even prevent allergies.

By taking one teaspoon of bee pollen daily, resistance to wind-carried pollen is slowly built up and the sensitivity to allergy is reduced. Gradually the body builds up an insulating shield against the irritating effects of wind-borne pollen.

Pollen builds immunity this way: Theoretically, a certain portion of the eaten bee pollen does not go through the process of digestion. This portion remains unchanged as it is speedily assimilated into the blood stream.

Since the membrane enclosing each pollen grain is tough, it protects the grain, sustains it and keeps it alive for weeks or even months. Eating bee pollen daily will build up this supply of membrane-protected pollen in the bloodstream. When you breathe in wind-borne pollen the reaction will be much milder as your own immunity is strengthened.

Are there any dangers in taking bee Pollen?
Anyone can be sensitive to anything. If you suffer from major allergies we can send you a small sample of bee pollen to determine that you will not react.

How should I take bee Pollen?
Take a teaspoonful each morning, sprinkle over breakfast cereal, or with yoghurt. Is Pollen available in capsules or any other form? None other than in Apimist or in its fresh powdered form. Because of its bulk you would have to swallow so many capsules.
