Bee pollen explained: what it is and where it comes from

Bee pollen comes from plant and flower pollen mixed by bees with nectar and saliva, and hive traps collect it by knocking some pollen off the bees. The NIH says its contents vary widely and include vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates, and it is sold as a dietary supplement. Two products we reviewed list bee pollen, and neither prints its individual amount.
