This is what causes the bees to \u0026quot;fertilize\u0026quot; the flowers during their journey between them, making it possible for plants to reproduce. Through evolution, honey bees have developed to only collect the best, most nutritious pollen they can find, and they invest considerable time and energy to do this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the hive, bee pollen is collected as the bees pass through a slightly narrow entrance, where they scrape off some of the collected pollen from their legs. The bee pollen then falls into small containers below. The bees are not harmed by this process and naturally retain enough pollen themselves to care for their colony. The pollen is dried immediately after collection and is neither heated nor processed in any other way to preserve all active substances and enzymes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% raw bee pollen.
