Hello! Is this is bee pollen collected from the hive or from the fields?

Having grown up with a father who was a commercial beekeeper and doing some myself, I can tell you that all commercially and locally sold pollen is collected from the fields by the bees who then take it to the hives. As they enter the hives, the pollen is literally trapped by "pollen traps" which is collected by the beekeeper who then packages and sells the pollen. It would be an almost impossibility for a human to gather pollen in any significant amount. This is one reason why it is always called "bee pollen". It is only called that due to the fact that bees collect it. They don't manufacture it as the plants are the only thing that can. As a side note, the process of bees gathering pollen to take back to the hives to feed the babies actually pollinates the plants. This is why it is so crucial that bees be protected from anything that can kill them such as Monsanto's sprays which have been documented as being part of the problem for Colony Collapse Disorder.

Hi Leighann, The company is based in Baltimore, Maryland. However, the bee farms are actually all located in upstate New York. -Adriel Lubarsky NaturalSweetie www.NaturalSweetie.biz

I don't remember see "Kosher" or not. It's been so long since my order. The bees were placed in between a foam-like material and secured by a tight plastic wrapping. Sorry I can't remember more.

How can someone say it's organic honey when bees can fly wherever they want? The beehives are specifically placed in isolated areas away from any type of contamination (golf courses, agricultural areas, heavy traffic areas and landfills). By placing the hives far from agricultural areas, they can avoid GMOs. I hope this helps. David

No, just gnats and whiteflies. We have never caught any bees or beneficials.

That's a good question but I don't have the answer, sorry :(I do know that we have bee hives on our property but haven't had any issues with the bees on the feeder :)

Im not sure. Saved box, says removes ragweed, grass and tree pollen. Also, dust mite debris, mold spores, household dust, pet dander and smoke. Airborne pollutants as small as 2 microns.

It will barely help. The enzymes in here usually attack dead algae particles. Not pollen. You should be able to vacuum pollen out. If the "pollen" comes back 1-2 days after vacuuming, then it's not pollen. It's mustard algea. Mustard algea looks almost like sand. You can have a crystal clear pool, and have mustard algea. It it is, let me know.

This was purchased as a gift for someone so I cannot provide personal experience. I can say that the reason I purchased it is because RAW honey produced in the area where someone lives contains minute pollen from the area so it can help desensitize people with allergies.

I don't see anything on the jar itself. I don't know what I did with the paper that came with it. You could most likely find that answer from the YS Ogranic Bee Farms at 2724 N 4351 Road, Sheridan, IL 60551. Sorry that I can be of further help on this matter. Chester

Going by the box, this is an "extract" pulled directly from the almond nut not a synthetic flavor, this is a natural, organic, product. Check out a dictionary definition of "extract" for a solid definition. Don't know about the technicalities of allergens so can't respond to that part of the inquiry.

the labelsays "harvested by healthy bees from eco friendly diverse regions." also says "product of USA and Canada." i trust the company. they have been around for a while. Their label says all the right things and then some. unless they lie, they are a perfect honey source

The package does not state the source of the wax. I suggest you contact the GUM Butler company to find out. I would guess the wax is not beeswax.

it is plastic coated with bees wax. bees love it and go right to work with it

It doesn't list or mention pollen. Although a few websites say that this brand should contain the "anticipated" levels of pollen that most would like to find in raw or true honey. The flavor of it suggests that there's pollen present but because the packaging doesn't support that I couldn't tell you for certain.

Well plants are plants. As long as the area where they are grown is organic I am fine with it.I personally have a hive for honey, but I don't collect the pollen, might someday try. This pollen is nice. It is packed with every nutrient your body needs.

This one is not organic. Some people confuse the NAME OF THE COMPANY on the jar (which says "YS Organic Bee Farms") with the product actually being organic. It is not. This is raw non-organic honey. I don't really care about the organic part, just that it's raw, AND tastes delicious. (Which I assure you this one does!)
