100% Bee Pollen · Bulgarian Origin · Antibiotic Tested · 50g To 5kg

Bee Pollen Granules

One ingredient. Bee pollen, 100%, collected in Bulgaria and dried to a maximum 8% moisture. Nothing added, nothing taken out.

Tested and confirmed free of antibiotic residues — which, on a hive product, is the single most useful thing a certificate can tell you.

Bee Pollen Granules at a glance

What it is: Pollen collected by honeybees, packed into granules with nectar and bee secretions, gathered at the hive entrance and dried. One ingredient, 100% bee pollen.

Origin: Bulgaria.

Serving: About a teaspoon, roughly 5g, a day. Start with a few granules the first time.

Health claims: None. There are no authorised GB health claims for bee pollen, and no nutrient claim is made on this page either.

Not suitable for: Vegans, anyone with a pollen or bee sting allergy, anyone with asthma or hay fever without medical advice, children, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding without medical advice.

Sizes: 50g, 150g, 250g, 500g, 1kg, 2kg and 5kg, from £7.49.

How to use it

About a teaspoon, roughly 5g, a day.

Start with two or three granules. Not a teaspoon. Bee pollen causes allergic reactions in some people and a few granules is enough to find out whether you are one of them. Build up over a week if all is well.

Sprinkle over porridge, yoghurt or a smoothie bowl. Blend into smoothies. Stir through honey. The taste is floral and slightly bitter and varies batch to batch with the flowers the bees were working.

Keep the pack sealed, cool and dry. Moisture is what spoils bee pollen, which is why the dryness figure on the specification matters.

The figure on our certificate that nobody else prints

Antibiotics: not present

Here is something most people buying bee pollen have never been told, and it is the single most useful line on a hive-product specification.

Beekeepers treat their colonies. American foulbrood, European foulbrood and nosema can wipe out a hive, and in much of the world the response is antibiotics — oxytetracycline, tylosin and sulphonamides among them. Bees carry whatever is in the hive into everything they store in it.

Our specification states it plainly: antibiotics not present. Alongside no GMO, and a protein floor of 11g per 100g.

Open any other bee pollen listing you are considering and search the page for the word. We think you will find it is not there — and a seller who has never tested for it cannot tell you either way.

Those are ranges, and they are meant to be

Bee pollen is whatever the bees were working that week. A spring rape flow and a late summer wildflower flow produce granules with different colours, different tastes and genuinely different composition — which is why the specification allows protein anywhere from 11 to 40 grams per 100.

Anyone quoting you one precise nutrition figure for bee pollen is quoting a number they cannot stand behind batch to batch. The honest version is a range, and the useful end of ours is the guaranteed minimum: protein never below 11g per 100g.

1. Moisture

Fresh pollen is around 20% water and will ferment and mould at that level. It has to be dried to be shelf stable. Ours is specified at no more than 8%. A seller who does not publish a moisture figure is asking you to trust that it was dried properly.

2. Where it came from

Country of origin tells you which beekeeping rules applied. Ours is Bulgarian, a long-standing European beekeeping region working to EU residue limits. A pack that names no country is usually not keen for you to ask.

No Authorised Claims Does Not Mean No Research

You will notice this page tells you nothing about what bee pollen does. That is not because nothing is known — bee pollen is one of the most studied hive products in the world. It is because getting a health claim authorised in Great Britain is a process most ingredients never go through.

Authorisation is funded by whoever stands to profit from the claim, and no company will spend six figures on an ingredient any competitor can then sell. So foods like bee pollen sit outside the register regardless of the evidence behind them. The lawful position is that we sell you a specification and you make your own decisions — which is what the rest of this page does.

You can check the register yourself at the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register.

The colour line is not a defect

Bee pollen granules arrive in a mix of yellow, orange, green, purple, brown and black, because each granule is one bee's work on one species of flower. A pack of uniformly golden granules has either come from a single crop or been sorted. A mixed pack is the normal, unsorted article.

Bee Pollen (100%).

That is the entire list. No preservative, no anti-caking agent, no added colour, no flavouring, no carrier. There is nothing else to declare.

Bee pollen is itself a serious allergen

It is not one of the fourteen named allergens in UK food law, but it causes real allergic reactions, and severe ones have been reported. That is the most important line on this page.

Do not take it at all if you are allergic to bee or wasp stings, or to pollen.

Speak to a doctor first if you have hay fever, asthma, or any history of allergic reaction.

Everyone else: start with two or three granules, not a teaspoon, and wait a day. This is a genuine precaution and not a formality.

The fourteen named allergens

None of the fourteen allergens named in UK food law is an ingredient of this product. The only ingredient is bee pollen.

This product is weighed and packed in a unit that also handles other food ingredients. If you have a diagnosed allergy to any of the fourteen, contact us before ordering and we will tell you exactly what is handled alongside it.

Before you take this

Not for children.

Not during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.

Speak to your GP or pharmacist first if you take warfarin or any other anticoagulant. Interactions have been reported with hive products.

Stop immediately and seek medical help if you get swelling, breathing difficulty, a rash or faintness after taking it.

If this is your first time, buy the 50g. It is the dearest per gram by a long way and we would still rather you started there, because some people cannot take bee pollen at all and finding that out with a 5kg sack in the cupboard helps nobody.
