Bee Pollen is the pollen ball that has been
packed by worker honeybees into
pellets. Bee bread is also the bee pollen with added nectar and enzymes and
stored in brood cells, chambers of honeybees or of wood
and mud created by female ground-nesting when the pollen ball is complete, a
single female lays an egg on top of the pollen ball, and seals the brood cell. Pollen
balls are harvested as food for humans. Bee pollen is sometimes referred to as ambrosia.,
whereas with honey bees, the thing to keep in mind is that the forager bees
that gather pollen do not eat it themselves, since when they transition to
foraging, they stop producing the proteolytic enzymes necessary to digest it.
So the foragers unload the pollen they`ve gathered directly into open cells
located at the interface between the brood and stored honey, creating a typical
band of what is called beebread - the substance which is the main food source
for honey bee larvae and workers.
Foraging bees
bring pollen back to the hive, where they pass it off to other worker bees, who
pack the pollen into cells with their heads. During collection and possibly
packing, the pollen is mixed with nectar and bee salivary secretions. Bee
pollen is the primary source of protein for the hive. This method of packing
can be seen in the bee species
Composition
Like honey and propolis,
other well-known honey bee products that are gathered rather than secreted
(i.e., in contrast to royal jelly and beeswax),
the exact chemical composition depends on the plants the worker bees gather
the pollen from, and can vary from hour to hour, day to day, week to week,
colony to colony, even in the same apiary,
with no two samples of bee pollen exactly identical. Accordingly, chemical and
nutritional analyses of bee pollen apply only to the specific samples being
tested, and cannot be extrapolated to samples gathered in other places or other
times. Although there is no specific chemical composition, the average
composition is said to be 40-60% simple sugars (fructose and glucose), 20-60%
proteins, 3% minerals and vitamins, 1-32% fatty acids, and 5% diverse other
components. A study of bee pollen samples showed that they may contain 188
kinds of fungi and
29 kinds of bacteria. Despite this microbial diversity, stored pollen
(also called bee bread) is a preservation environment similar to honey, and
contains consistently low microbial biomass.
Bee pollen has been touted by herbalists as
a treatment for a variety of medical conditions but there is scientific
controversy with some saying it does not have any health benefits whilst others
claiming it does. Nonetheless there seems to remain the potential risks of
consuming bee pollen that include contamination by fungal mycotoxins,
pesticides or toxic metals. Bee pollen is safe for short term use, but for
those with pollen allergies, allergic reactions may occur (shortness of breath, hives,
swelling, and anaphylaxis). Bee pollen is not safe for pregnant women and
should not be used during breastfeeding. The Food and Drug Administration has
warned against the use of some bee pollen products because they are adulterated
with unapproved drugs including sibutramine and phenolphthalein.

Golden Baby eight straw feed can quickly and efficiently ferment straw into feed. But when using it, you should also pay attention to some techniques, so that you can really play the role of starter. Taking Jinbao straw fermentation starter as an example, attention should be paid when using it:
1, raw materials. Do not use rotten or spoilage straw, otherwise it may inhibit the proliferation of beneficial microbial strains and affect the fermentation effect.
2, ventilation. The stockpiles are not compacted so as to avoid air separation, resulting in poor ventilation and affecting the quality of fermentation.
3, avoid light. Do not ferment in direct sunlight to prevent UV light from killing functional microbes and affecting fermentation.
4, with. Due to different types of straw nutrients and various odors, the taste of the feed after fermentation also has some differences, a reasonable match with the raw material fermentation will be better, nutrition is more comprehensive. (1) Coarse and fine collocation, such as adding about 10-15% of cornmeal in the straw together with fermentation; (2) Collocation of varieties, mixed fermentation of multiple crop straws, such as corn stalks and wheat stalks, etc., so that nutrition is more comprehensive, Better results. (3) feeding collocation. Fermented straw feeds should be fed together with the full-price feed mix in the required proportions. Cows, sheep, ducks, geese, and empty sows can be fed directly. Pigs and chickens should be fed in proportion.
5, weight. The weight of straw for each fermentation should generally not be less than 50 kg. Too little amount is not conducive to warming, and it is difficult to ensure the quality of fermentation.
6, storage. Straw fermented with straw fermentation of the best straw feed is now fed, it should not be stored for a long time, the general storage should not be more than two days, generally should be based on two days of feeding, accounting to determine the amount of raw materials for fermentation. If the storage time is more than two days, an anaerobic storage method should be adopted to cool the fermented material and seal it for storage. For small-scale farmers with three or five pigs, it is best to mix the raw materials, such as corn flour, which should be fed, and the straw feed, and ferment them together. After the fermentation, mix the concentrates and feed them together. In this way, it not only promotes feed conversion and absorption, but also solves the problem of current feed feeding.
