How should I store my pollen?
It is recommended that you store your pollen in a dark cool place (preferably the fridge or freezer).  Pollen is a "food" and can spoil after a period of time at room temperature.  Freezing the pollen will keep it fresh and at full strength for up to 2 years.  You may keep the pollen in a freezer bag  or you may transfer it to some other type of container.

Pollen can loose its strength after an extended  period of time at room temperature.  Direct sunlight can also reduce the strength of pollen.  Of course short reasonable periods at room temperature will not have any effect, but weeks or months will.

Does honey do the same thing as pollen?
No.  Honey does contain some pollen in it, but very little.  Pure natural honey is however the only food that will never spoil.  Back to Questions

How is pure pollen processed (cleaned)?
Actually it is not processed at all.  Pure natural unprocessed bee pollen is simply cleaned to remove obvious foreign particles such as bee wings and legs.   Occasionally you will find one of those in your pollen and you should not be alarmed.  That is to be expected in the pure bee pollen.  Back to Questions How is pure pollen processed (cleaned)?

How is bee pollen collected?
Bee pollen is collected when the honey bee walks through a pollen trap that is placed underneath the main beehive.  For more detailed information on how pollen is collected see our pollen collection page.   Back to Questions

Is all pollen the same?
No.  Pollen will vary from region to region because the blooms vary.   In treating allergies pollen from your immediate area will be more beneficial than bee pollen from another region.  In many cases it is not possible to get pollen from your immediate region, in which case bee pollen from other regions is still very beneficial.  If you are taking bee pollen from another region for protein and the nutritional value it makes no difference.  Back to Questions
