Bee Pollen 

 
Bee pollen is concidered by many to be the most complete, concentrated food found in nature.  Produced by bees to feed their young, bee pollen is a fine granular foodstuff with a rich golden color.  It can be added to most eggfoods and soft foods to provide additional natural nutrition.

Bee pollen is composed of about 50% carbohydrates, is rich in fatty acids, almost all known minerals, amino acids, enzymes, trace elements, vitamins like b complex, A, C, D, E, and beta carotene.  More and more aviculturists are turning to Bee pollen to help prevent nutritional imbalance and deficiencies. Many also believe it helps boost the immune system and prevent disease.
