Size

Bee pollen is gathered by honey bees from the flowering plants they visit, brought back to the hive as a nutrient-dense food for the colony. We collect it the natural way, in small amounts, with bee-conscious harvesting. It is floral, earthy, and lightly sweet — sprinkle a little onto yogurt, smoothies, or granola.

From the Hive to You

How to take & store your pollen

A few simple habits keep raw bee pollen at its most nutritious. Treat it like the raw, living food it is.

Start small

Begin with a few granules the first day to check for any pollen sensitivity, then work up to a quarter teaspoon over the first week.

Build your serving

Most people settle on about one teaspoon a day — roughly a generous pinch, or one to two tablespoons for those using it as a stamina food.

Take it your way

Sprinkle over yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit; blend into a smoothie; dissolve slowly under the tongue; or simply chew the granules on their own.

Morning is best

Pollen is gently energizing, so take it earlier in the day. Skip it close to bedtime, especially while your body first adjusts.

Storing it well

Refrigerator

Up to 1 year

Keep the jar sealed and dry. Cold slows the natural breakdown of enzymes, so granules stay fresh-tasting and nutrient-dense for roughly a year chilled.

Freezer

2 years or longer

Freezing pauses the enzymes almost entirely, preserving vitamins and amino acids the longest. Scoop what you need with a dry spoon and return the jar at once; condensation is the enemy.

Countertop

A few months

Fine in a cool, dark cupboard, though heat and light quietly age the pollen. For the longest life and brightest flavor, the fridge or freezer is best.

Shelf life is a guide, not a guarantee — raw pollen never really spoils in the way cooked food does, but its color, aroma, and freshness fade fastest in heat and light.
