Yesterday at the Walnut Creek Farmer’s Market, we talked to Steve Gentry of Steve's Bees... He explained in detail how pollen is taken from the hive, how colony collapse is effecting his bees, and more. I've been experimenting with bee pollen and I find it to be energizing and beneficial. It's a great source of B-complex vitamins. It also contains protein. Take a look...  Pollen, honey, and nectar are the three things on which a honey bee is harvested. To avoid their dehydration, water is sprinkled to their harvesting block. Bees have a three days memory only. Hence, bee keeping and their fertilization is managed accordingly.
