Honey
Blends
A natural sweetner combined with value added components.
Honey is complimentary to all products of the hive. When
raw honey is mixed together with Royal Jelly, Propolis and Pollen , the
honey helps to maintain their potency. These products add
great value to the honey, but are not considered a replacement
dosage.
Propolis, Bee Pollen and Royal Jelly are all co-products of honey production that are used in dietary supplements.
Propolis is a sticky substance that is secreted by bees to seal cracks and spaces in the hive. Its antimicrobial properties help to control the growth of bacteria and fungus within the hive. Beekeepers can collect small quantities of propolis by hand by scraping it out of the crevices and corners of the hive. Those who collect it commercially may place a fine-mesh plastic screen about an inch above the hive. In the fall, the bees attempt to seal the space between the screen and the hive with propolis. A healthy hive can produce about 200 grams of propolis a season.
To collect Pollen from bees, beekeepers construct pollen traps. These are screens that the bees must crawl through in order to enter the hive. As they crawl through the mesh, about 10 percent of the pollen that they are carrying is scraped off the falls into a clean tray below. Beekeepers can collect 2 to 3kg of pollen from a single hive in one season without causing a shortage for the bees.
Royal Jelly is a substance that bees produce in minute quanities to feed larvae that are to become queen bees. It is collected by hand with either a special spoon or a suction device. Royal Jelly degrades easily and should be refrigerated in air-tight brown glass containers.
Many beekeepers collect Propolis, Pollen and Royal Jelly for their own use and do not sell it commercially. Only large beekeeping operations produce enough of these substances for commercial marketing (Schech, 1998).
