Regular consumption of pollen can contribute to health in many ways, reducing inflammation and stimulating the immune & metabolic systems.
The nutrients in pollen can help correct metabolic dysfunction and regulate appetite. In addition, pollen’s antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and slow down the aging process. Pollen also helps strengthen capillaries, lower cholesterol levels and boosts liver function. Finally, the well rounded nutrients in pollen help promote mental wellness! You may find that after consuming pollen regularly for two weeks, you notice less “brain fog”.
Pollen analysis has shown that pollen is a storehouse of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, lipids, sugars, enzymes, carotenoids and bioflavonoids. No other food contains as many elements necessary for life as pollen does.
Pollen contains all 28 minerals that the human body requires for healthy function. Pollen has high levels of vitamins A, B, C, D and E. It is about 35% protein, with half of these in the form of essential amino acids that our bodies easily digest. 40% of pollen is various types of natural sugars, 5% is fats, and 3% is minerals and oligo-elements (which carry minerals). 3% is moisture, and the remaining materials are trace elements such as folic acid and biotin.
Why fresh frozen? Fresh frozen allows you to consume the pollen in the same state that the bees collected it. Drying processes can over-dry and over-heat pollen. Over-drying makes it more difficult to dissolve into smoothies, etc. In the case of accidental overheating, the health benefits of pollen are degraded. Fresh frozen pollen can be stored in the freezer and remains easy to scoop out small amounts as needed. It can be safely stored in the fridge for a week or so, but should ideally be kept frozen.
When I don't have my own fresh frozen pollen I stock some of my brother's pollen from Nith Valley Apiaries because their pollen is collected from their bees in the same Ellice Swamp area + they also offer it fresh frozen!
Let customers speak for us
I used these as favours for my wedding, as an orchardist I love the idea behind them. They are just the cutest little candels! 😍
I burned this candle while I was getting ready (read (im)patiently waiting) for labour to begin at the end of my second pregnancy. Its an excellent gift for a pregnant momma 😊 or for those who have blessing ways, these would be perfect.
Jodi has such a creative collection of flavoured honeys, but this one is my favorite! Gorgeous colour and unique flavour.
What a lovely way to enjoy the benefits of these mushrooms. Makes it easy to incorporate natures medicine into everyday life. Excellent product!
The taste is pleasant and mild, not overpoweringly fungal. Thank you to the Turkey Tails for fruiting abundantly, and to the bees for their honey. And thank you to the humans who gathered these two foods and married them together.
I absolutely love the Pinecone candles that Huckleberry Hives make. It gives me such pleasure giving these as a thoughtful and creative gift for Christmas. The fact that they are locally made makes the gift giving even better!
Honey is soooo creamy and goes great with all the dishes and drinks we use honey for. Delivery was fast and came in excellent condition!
These wonderful snowy fir trees are part of my table setting - I've got a group of them in different sizes! Their scent of sweet honey just adds to their beauty!
The smooth pillars from Huckleberry Hives are everything I look for in a quality beeswax candle. They have a well balanced base, a uniform surface, a safe to burn cotton wick, and top quality 100% beeswax that is not been mixed with additives. Huckleberry Hives' smooth pillars have a beautiful yellow beeswax colour and also a heavenly, sweet honey scent!
I am so impressed by the quality of these beeswax candles, and I am enjoying them so much that I placed another order for holidays gifts for friends. The candles arrived carefully wrapped and I appreciate the kind professionalism at Huckleberry Hives!
Smells good, looks good, burns good. What more can I say?
Excellent, long lasting candle. Fantastic customer service.
