| Bees not only make honey but also play
an important role in our environment. They help distribute pollen
among various flowering plants, which leads to pollination.
Pollination allows fertilization to occur; which produces seeds
that allow the plants to reproduce. The seeds are in turn used
as a food source by many species of animals. Bees are responsible
for pollinating nearly 80 percent of all the fruits and vegetables
we eat! Bee pollen is also collected and
is described by Walt as "one of the most perfect foods". Although
it is not completely understood by scientists, pollen is loaded
with nutritional value. It contains 18 amino acids, numerous
vitamins, minerals and hormones. In fact, bee pollen contains
all the essential elements needed for life.
Bee pollen's nutritional benefits are reported to increase strength, raise energy, improve resistance to infection, promote the production of red and white blood cells and help asthma and allergy sufferers. There is a seemingly endless list of positive qualities for bee pollen. However, as with any medicine or medicinal product, make sure you consult your doctor first!
