Raw Bee Bread is fermented bee pollen from various flowers of all seasons. Bee bread is a superfood which has even more nutritional benefits than bee pollen. The fermentation process of pollen enriches the bee bread with enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and protein, increasing their bioavailability. It has a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness, accompanied by a zesty after note.
Bee bread is 100% natural, unprocessed and straight from the hive. Bee bread is made by bees. Bees bring the pollen from the flowers into the honeycomb cells and they mix it in with honey. After the honeycomb cell is full, bees cap it with beeswax. Throughout the whole season, bee pollen ferments in the hive and becomes bee bread. Fermentation brakes proteins into amino acids, forming lactic acid and vitamin K. Due to fermentation, our bodies easily absorb more nutrients and effectively digest the bee bread. Furthermore, it contains a load of micro-elements like iron, phosphorus, cobalt, calcium, potassium and selenium. Bee bread ranks high in the chart of superfoods because of the amount of B-group vitamins and amino acids.
We harvest it during the winter preparation by removing the unnecessary brood frames. This way we ensure that the bees are happy. Bees use bee bread to get strong after wintertime. It is also used as insulation during the wintertime. In the same sense, we may use it to boost our energy levels and restore the immune system.
