Free Bee Pollen (not AF)

I don't know what "bee pollen" is, but I signed up for it anyway. I noticed the bee on the right has boobs. If real bees had boobs, I might have found watching them more entertaining.
 
geekender: Bee Pollen? Are bees flowers? How do they make pollen? They process pollen. It turns into honey. WTF?

Pollen can NEVER be processed into honey. Bees process "flower honey" into "bee honey". They also collect pollen using their legs. Pollen serves as part of the food for bees. At the same time, bees spread pollen from flower to flower.
 
You may be asking for trouble if you use "bee pollen." Bees gather pollen for protein. They gather nectar for sugar. A little pollen, but not a lot, winds up in honey. What does is mostly filtered out in processing of store-bought honey. Raw or unfiltered honey has a very little pollen, but not a lot. Honey is mostly partially dried nectar.

Hay fever, aka, allergies, is caused by pollen. If you eat "bee pollen" you are eating almost pure pollen which may lead to anaphylactic shock if you are allergic to pollen.

I love raising honey bees and honey tastes good. Honey does have has some proven minor antimicrobial properties, but it has no mystical powers.

IMHO, "bee pollen" as a food supplement is yuppie B.S. Don't go there.
