Customer Reviews of Fresh Bee Pollen Whole Granules - 16 oz. - Granules
Customer Review: The best nationally available bee pollen in the USA
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best pollen I have found in the USA.
I have been eating bee pollen regularly for the past 20 years or so, in many countries around the world.
In the USA the only one I buy is this one from Y.S. Organic Bee farms. Why? Because it is fresh and it is collected (by bees) from flowers that have not been sprayed with toxic chemicals, making it good for the bees and good for you.
The price of this product here on Amazon (currently under $14)** is the best I have seen. In the shops it usually retails for about $16 to $18.
(( **UPDATE: Jul 14 2010 - price is now at 17 dollars, plus about 5 dollars shipping, so it can vary a fair bit. Shop around if you want to pay less ))
If you can, I do highly recommend contacting a local organic honey producer and asking if they will sell you pollen. It is always best to eat locally produced pollen for numerous reasons. BUT for many people this is not so easy to get, and Y.S. Organic Bee Farms pollen is therefore likely to be your best bet.
NEW TO POLLEN?
Pollen is one of the most ancient super foods. It contains pretty much every nutrient your body requires. It is powerful stuff. Don't under estimate the gift you give your body by including good quality organic pollen in your diet.
I suggest starting out with 1/2 a teaspoon as day, and working up to 1 or more tablespoons a day.
A WORD OF CAUTION: It is my understanding that in rare instances some people have an allergic reaction to eating pollen. If you have not had pollen before, try just a little at first and see what happens after an hour or so. Also, some people (myself included, on perhaps 4 occasions in 20 years) will experience cramping in the stomach after eating pollen on an empty stomach. If this happens, try eating less, and try having it with food.
Chew your pollen well when eating it straight. It will help with the digestion of it.
I also put it into a super intelligent raw food smoothie. Here's one of my recipes:
Use clean spring water if you can. To that add 1 ripe organic banana as a base. Then add the following:
- Start out with 1 tablespoon of Spirulina Pacifica Powder. Increase as you get use to the taste.
- 1 tablespoon of Organic Raw Chocolate Nibs,
- A handful of Raw Organic Goji Berries (soak them in water overnight if you want them to blend more smoothly),
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Organic Raw Maca Powder
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Lucuma Powder
- 1 tablespoon of Bee Pollen granules
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of organic Ginger Root Powder (that'll help with your digestion of the other goodies).
This rough recipe is for about a quart (1 litre) of drink so use 1 quart (1 L) of water.
Blend them up in a blender, and enjoy.
I give workshops on what I call "Intelligent Nutritional" around the world, and this is a basic version of a recipe I share with people. I've had many people after just 3 to 7 days tell me they feel like a new person (they look like it too!!) after drinking this each morning. Friends comment on how them seem to be "glowing" and ask what they are up to!! Try it out.
If you're looking to buy Bee Pollen online, this is the brand to get, and it's at a great price.

P.S. I have posted links to the products above, specifically selecting brands that I have tried and recommend. Different merchants, however, sell these products on Amazon and elsewhere online. So search here and elsewhere for the best price. The ones I have posted links to do not necessarily represent the best price and shipping deals, etc.
P.P.S. I recently bought pollen from another manufacturer here on Amazon. It was a lot cheaper, so I wanted to try it. It is not organic. And I didn't like the taste of it. You can read my review of it here: High Desert Bee Pollen 1 lbs
