Start with a smaller dose (about ¼ tsp) of bee pollen. It’s better to eat a little and then increase the dose. Feel free to mix pollen with your saliva in your mouth before swallowing. It can also be mixed with a little honey or in juice. You can also soak a teaspoon in water overnight and then drink it at breakfast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people who eat pollen may initially experience mild forms of irritation in the gastrointestinal tract, headaches, or nausea due to the rich nutrient content and potency of bee pollen.

Uncommon allergic reactions can include swelling, heart palpitations, and difficulty breathing. If you have never eaten bee pollen before, you can try placing a grain under your tongue to see if it causes any reaction. Then take two grains daily to slowly increase to a teaspoon per day if you notice no reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Ballot-Flurin’s bee pollen produced?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen bees collect nectar from flowers to make honey, they also collect pollen by rubbing against the inside of the flower\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is what causes the bees to \"pollinate\" the flowers on their journey between them, enabling the plants to reproduce. Honeybees have evolved to collect only the best, most nutritious pollen they can find, investing a lot of time and energy in doing so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor only a few hours per day (to avoid stressing the bees), our beekeepers place \"pollen traps\" on the hives, which catch some of the pollen the bees have collected when they return from France and Spain. (They are only allowed to take 300 units per month).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pollen is then dried immediately after collection and is not heated or treated in any other way to preserve all active substances and enzymes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% raw, organic bee pollen. 210 grams in a glass jar.
