Benefits Of Bee Pollen Make The News

Did you know that the White House Garden and the Chicago City Hall have beehives? This is part of a growing urban beehive movement to help the bees survive in a cleaner and safer environment. That is passed on to the consumer because the benefits of bee pollen and raw honey will be so much greater when they are produced in a cleaner ambience.

Now, you may not think that Washington and Chicago are the cleanest cities in the USA but they are much healthier than many of the countryside areas which are full of pesticides, GMOs, industrial pollutants and contamination from a whole range of toxins.

So, the benefits of bee pollen and bee products in general are now gaining more exposure as people become more knowledgeable.  Actually beekeeping in an urban setting is strictly illegal but local authorities are now relaxing their laws and already in New York and Denver it is legal while Los Angeles is campaigning hard to get the ban lifted there.

But the benefits of honey itself may well be exaggerated by the fact that a lot of honey is actually pasteurized and once it is heated, it loses a lot of its nutritional value. Actually this happens in the USA much more than in Europe.

The problem is that, as with many pasteurization techniques, there is a downside and here it is that the enzymes which are so important for the antibacterial function, get destroyed and the honey is practically useless for healing. Raw honey has always been the best option in healing wounds.

The Food Safety News also found that they honey now sold in supermarkets (up to 70% of the samples tested) does not contain any pollen, thereby making it just a highly processed syrup. This is why the bee pollen is far superior but you still have to be careful about what you are buying.

The benefits of bee pollen are now well known and also there is some research to show that they are indeed beneficial for the whole human organism. Theses benefits range from:

·        boosting  libido in both men and women

·        assisting with weight loss because it contains the full range of nutrients

·        helping to relieve prostate disorders in men

·        relieving symptoms of the menopause in women

·        providing great boost in energy (due to Vitamin B enhancement)

·        relieving some of the side effects of chemotherapy

Now if you really want to get the benefits of bee pollen, a much better option is to choose the bee pollen capsules because if the pollen is sourced from a safe area and properly processed, then you are well on the way to taking your wellbeing to a whole new level.
