Bee bread: contraindications, composition of vitamins and microelements, calorie content

What is bee bread

During the process of collecting nectar, pollen sticks to the insects' furry legs. Bees process the powdery substance with a certain enzyme secreted by saliva, and already in the consistency of small granules they deliver pollen to the hive. Next, the insects treat the granules with honey and place them in free honeycombs. The cell is sealed on top with a thick layer of wax.

The absence of air and foreign impurities causes fermentation in preserved pollen. After 2-3 weeks, pollen turns into a fermented substance in the form of multilayer crystals of amber or brown color with a high content of proteins, sugars, macro- and microelements. This beekeeping product is called bee bread or bee bread. Thus, insects prepare food for their family and offspring, which they use in early spring.

Important! A derivative of bee bread is pollen, which contains many allergens. Before using bee bread, it is necessary to do a test for tolerance to the beekeeping product.
