Bee Bread

Description

Bee bread is a mixture of pollen and nectar or honey. This substance is the main source of food for honey bee workers ,larvae , queen bee, which usually stay inside the bee hive. The exact composition of the bee bread varies depending on the plants that the bees forage from. This not only changes at different locations but also with the seasons and even at different times of the day. Scientists have found that the bees add extra secretions and micro-organisms (such as bacteria and mould) to the bee bread. These additions help break down some of the pollen and release amino acids and other nutrients from the pollen. Bee bread of Uturn is supposed to be one of the best bee breads of the globe as it is produced in Europe after years of research.
