What is useful, how to prepare and apply honey with pollen

What is the name of pollen with honey

Honey bees collect flower powder by gluing it together with a special secretion from the salivary glands.

The pollen is "combed out" by its hind legs, therefore, when glued, it is called a bee pollen.

Then the bees put it in honeycombs and pour honey on top. This mixture is called bee bread. This is honey-soaked pollen that can be stored for a long time thanks to lactic acid (also produced by the bee).

Another name for this composition is bee bread. It contains a large number of different compounds, including protein. Used to feed brood in spring. Each cell of the honeycomb contains 150–180 mg of bee bread. This amount is enough to grow at least one (sometimes two) larvae.

Depending on the method of production and the form of packaging, there are several varieties of honey bee:

1. In combs - made by the bees themselves, has a natural origin. However, it is not stored for long - it can deteriorate due to high humidity or heat.
2. Beech paste is ground bee bread that man produces. To do this, select a natural mixture from the honeycomb and grind it in a meat grinder, after which honey is added - by weight 30–35%.
3. Also, bee bread is simply removed from the honeycomb and stored in the form of hexagons. The wax is removed from the pollen, then it is dried and kept at a moderate temperature and humidity.
