Organic Raw Bee Bread
200gBee bread, also known as "ambrosia" or "the bees' bread," is naturally fermented pollen stored by bees inside the honeycomb cells. It consists of about 75% pollen, mixed with nectar, honey, and bee saliva.
Before the bee worker goes to collect pollen, she supplies herself with a little honey from the hive, but this is far away from being their lunch. As bees fly from bloom to bloom, they comb the pollen very quickly and slightly moisturize it with a saliva-honey mixture and then they move it into baskets on their hind legs called corbiculae. Back at the hive, bees deposit their pollen pellets close to the cells where bee larvae are growing.
