Haughley Pollen

Pollen is a fine powder produced by flowering plants and is a crucial process for plant reproduction. Bees gather pollen for it's protein and other nutrients, which are essential for feeding their young and colony growth.

Pollen benefits to humans: A rich source of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which can boost the immune system and fight inflammation. It may also improve allergy relief, energy levels, aid digestion, promote skin health, support cardiovascular and liver function and improve wound healing.

Female bees have specially adapted corbiculae (pollen baskets), not baskets in the traditional sense, but rather a concave area of the hind leg surrounded by hairs that when mixed with nectar create small, sticky and colourful balls to transport back to the hive. 

We collect the pollen using a trap that fits onto the entrance of the hive and knocks pollen from the bees legs as they pass through. These are only added on warm days and to the very strongest colonies for short amounts of time during a pollen flow, so we do not damage or disturb a colony.
