Cedarwood Honey has 25 years Beekeeping experience, and they know their stuff! About Bee Pollen they say:
"Bees gather pollen from flowering plants and trees and bring it back to the hives in sacs on their legs. It is high in protein and fed to young larvae to aid in their growth. We gently harvest pollen from these sacs as the bees enter the hive and ensure to harvest only from the strongest hives.
