Beebread (Polen Cámara de
Cría)
Beebread is one of
the many products, which come from the hive such as
honey, royal jelly, propolis, apitoxin, beeswax,
among others. However, since it is the very nutrient
the larvae feed on, this product is of vital
importance for the hive.
Bees collect pollen from the flowers and carry it to
the hive, where it is deposited in the comb cells of
the breeding chamber. Worker bees compress this
pollen using their heads in order to obtain a
compact mass. This mass undergoes some changes as a
result of not only the high level of humidity and
the high temperature inside the hive (which is
around 35° C) but also because it is mixed with the
bee's salivary secretions -rich in enzymes- and
nectar.
This process accounts for beebread being over 100%
richer in its main constituents than the flowers'
natural pollen.
For over 20 years,
our company has developed and optimized this
extraction process whilst preserving the nutrients
needed for the hive's survival.
Beebread is a
very scarce product of vital importance for the
hive. Thus, its extraction must be made whilst
following a careful, painstaking, artisan procedure.
This is why we claim: to consume it is to enjoy a
rare privilege.
