My sister who lives in Florida brought me this gift of bee pollen she got from Costa Rica. I didn't even know what that was. She said I am supposed to take a teaspoon a day, that it is a superfood. Hmm. I googled it quickly and it appears to be 'bee food' extracted from flowers, believed to have healing properties.

I've heard about it but that was years ago on XFiles but I never ever used it and don't know anything about it. Neat that it's from flowers. That's pretty cool. Thanks for telling me.
Sounds interesting - as long as you don't start buzzing around! Have a good week, hugs, Valerie
It's interesting what people will try and eat to stay healthy. I'm not sure I'd eat bee pollen myself. Some of those superfoods really do seem to work though.
Honey, and I mean that literally, is good for you. That I trust and use. I'd be skeptical about "Bee Pollen."
It would be useful if you happened to be a bee 🐝
Neat keepsake~
Yes it was a thoughtful gift
For those who like honey but want something different maybe?
I've never heard of this before. Very interesting!
I've never heard of it, but it was sweet of her to bring you some.
It's supposed to be good for the health. Enjoy!
Bee pollen ... I looked it up!
"Bee pollen contains vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids, and protein. It comes from the pollen that collects on the bodies of bees. Bee pollen may also include bee saliva.
It's important to avoid confusing bee pollen with natural honey, honeycomb, bee venom, or royal jelly. These products do not contain bee pollen."
