Fresh Birmingham Bee Pollen

Fresh bee pollen is different from what you'll find dried and shelf-stable elsewhere — this pollen comes straight from our own hives, unprocessed and undried, which means it keeps its natural softness and powdery texture. It's a mix of pollen from local trees, grasses, and wildflowers, and every color of granule you see is a different flower species — tan, yellow, orange, even blues and purples.

Key Features

• Harvested from our own hives — we only take what the bees can spare, since they need pollen for raising brood
• Fresh and undried — keeps its natural texture, unlike shelf-stable dried pollen
• Sold in 1 oz, 4 oz, and 8 oz sizes — 1 oz is approximately 2½ tablespoons
• Limited seasonal supply — harvested mainly in spring, with a smaller batch in fall

Storage — Read Before You Order

Because this pollen isn't dried, it has to stay frozen. The natural moisture content will cause it to spoil at room temperature. Store it in the freezer as soon as it arrives.

How to Use It

A common serving is less than ½ teaspoon. Start with just a few grains and increase gradually as your body gets used to it — local pollen is commonly used to help with seasonal plant allergies, more so than honey alone. We can't say it's certified organic, since we can't control which flowers our bees visit, but it's about as natural and unprocessed as pollen gets.
