How is Bee Pollen Made? The Truth Behind One of the Most Nutritious Supplements in the World

Let’s face it. Bees are fascinating to watch, and at one time or another we have all wondered how they go about making pollen, honey, and the other nutritious by-products that we can get from their efforts.

When it comes to pollen though, the bees have it easy because they really don’t have to make it, but they simply gather it.

Flowers automatically manufacture pollen for the purpose of reproduction…

…so how is bee pollen made?

What Makes Pollen, “Bee Pollen”?

We already know that flowers generate pollen for the sake of reproduction, so what turns it into bee pollen?

The process that pollen goes through to become bee pollen isn’t complicated but it is a process that should be understood. When pollen is collected from the flowers, the bees may get it stuck to their body, because they have tiny little hairs everywhere on their body.

The bees generally store this pollen in tiny baskets on their legs in order to carry it back to their hive. In the course of passing the pollen from their front legs to their back legs the tiny hairs brush and clean the pollen so that any debris is knocked loose, leaving just clean pollen granules.

The bees then mix their nectar or saliva with the pollen to clean it and bind it, which in turn creates what we see as pollen granules.

These granules appear to be more solid, and are what we see when we purchase bee pollen granules in air tight containers or bags. They appear to be golden in color, but upon looking at them more closely they often appear to be multi-colored. This is because pollen can be collected from a number of different plants and flowers, and each of them has a different color of pollen.

From the Hive to the Manufacturer

Getting bee pollen from the hive into the manufacturing plant is a little trick but not impossible, and as we know people do it every single day with no problem. However, there is a method by which bee keepers are able to get the pollen from the hive and into their manufacturing plant.

The easiest way to do this, and the most commonly used method is by creating route in which the bees can fly, and along the way, they will lose pollen from their legs as they fly up into the hive.

Generally, beekeepers set this up so that they can separate this trap door area from where the hive is in order to protect themselves. Wearing protective garb is always wise, but going in to get the pollen is the only way to collect it once it has fallen into the proper area.

Once it has been gathered up it can be taken to the right place to be manufactured into bee pollen granules, capsules, or even chewable tablets. This is where your complete source of nutrition begins!

How Xtend-Life Makes Bee Pollen

While I can’t speak for every manufacturer out there, I can certainly speak for Xtend-Life because this is the brand I choose to use on a daily basis. Xtend-Life produces the most pure form of bee pollen available, and much of that has to do with the fact that it is gathered and manufactured in the country of New Zealand.

The pollen is gathered here because there is virtually no pollution, and the use of pesticides is prohibited in New Zealand.

Other brands of bee pollen that are sold in the United States and other high industry countries could be loaded with these contaminants, so be sure to check out where the pollen is gathered and manufactured.

When the pollen is harvested, it is then frozen to preserve it. The pollen is then taken down to a powder form in which it is then blended with natural enzymes to help make it easier to digest and keep it clean and fresh.

Once the pollen and trace enzymes have been blended together it is then sealed air tight for 5 days before it is taken out to be put into capsules.

Don’t You Want the Best?

If you want the absolute best when it comes to your health and wellness, bee pollen probably has more to offer you than any other nutritional supplement. By now you have probably figured this out, but only you can take that step. Xtend-Life is the best bee pollen available, and those who have tried it can attest to its healing properties.

We all think that bees are fascinating to watch, but in all the speed by which they move do we really understand how bee pollen is actually made?

Pollen is automatically manufactured by flowers, but bees gather it and mix it with their nectar to create pollen granules.

Xtend-Life makes bee pollen capsules by mixing the pollen with digestive enzymes in order to create a more healthful way of taking bee pollen.

This is how high quality bee pollen is made; won’t you choose Xtend-Life?
