Bee PollenBee Pollen What is it? Besides collecting nectar from flowers, bees select pollens that contain the great amounts of protein and other nutrients. The bees mix them with nectar and some of the bees' own secretions, and take them to their hives. Bees use this pollen as food. This pollen is purchased directly from a local bee farmer and is kept frozen until it leaves our facilities here at Azure. Store frozen.
