Bee pollen

Bees feed on honey and pollen. Pollen is collected from the flowers that they collect. They bring it back to the hive and then consume it in the form of seeds. Pollen is an incredible source of protein, which has earned it its nickname “beehive steak”.
For protein synthesis in the body to be complete, Pollen contains 8 essential amino acids. It is also a source of vitamins, fiber and minerals.
