Groovy Bee® Organic Bee Pollen 8oz (227g)
Bee pollen refers to the sweet-tasting golden granules of flower pollen that are harvested by honey bees and packed into honeycomb cells inside the beehive. The honey bees then mix the pollen granules with nectar and cover them in a thin layer of honey. This mixture is allowed to ferment for some time to become the nutrient-dense bee pollen we all know and love.
Groovy Bee® Organic Bee Pollen is packed with highly bioavailable nutrients and antioxidants that support optimal health and well-being. Our ultra-clean bee pollen is sourced from trusted beekeepers from pristine areas of Spain and contains no GMOs, fillers or chemical additives. It is also non-China, certified Kosher and organic and meticulously lab tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology.
Groovy Bee® Organic Bee Pollen is sustainably sourced**
Honey bees collect flower pollen for their own nourishment. In order to keep the beehive thriving, beekeepers must be careful to harvest only a small percentage of the total bee pollen created. This way, the bees will still have more than enough pollen left to feed and nurture the entire hive. While gathering flower pollen, honey bees also pollinate flowers and crops – a crucial function for the proliferation of fruits, nuts and a wide variety of food crops. Buying organic, sustainably harvested bee pollen helps beekeepers remain in business and supports their expansion of honey bee hives and pollination operations.
Due to the widespread use of neonicotinoid insecticides, almost a third of the entire bee population in the U.S. has disappeared in the last decade. Commercial demand for bee pollen helps provide funding for the care and expansion of these pollinators, without which we would all starve. Purchasing sustainably harvested bee pollen also helps make honey bee stewardship more abundant and profitable for the farmers that care for the hives. The more money they can earn from selling sustainably harvested bee pollen, the larger the bee populations they can support. Rest assured that Groovy Bee® Organic Bee Pollen is 100% sustainably harvested.
Nutritional profile of bee pollen**
Despite their tiny and unassuming size, bee pollen granules pack an impressive nutritional punch. As one of the Mother Nature's most potent superfoods, bee pollen contains:
- Over 250 different flavonoids, nutrients and other beneficial compounds
- A wide array of essential vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, D, E and B-complex vitamins like folate
- Around 5x more amino acids than an equal serving of beef, cheese or eggs
Additionally, bee pollen is made up of around 35-40% protein, which is more than you can find in any animal source.

Customer Reviews
I went through a several week period where all I wanted to eat was bee pollen. This is the one I chose. It felt as if my body was deficient in bee pollen, but how could that be? Anyhow, while this is on the expensive-side, me thinks if you use it as a supplement (instead of main nourishment for a month) it would be more affordable, and trustable, as far as quality goes. And THANK YOU Mike Adams for all your hard work efforts to keep us apprised of what's going on in our country, and on our planet.
