Bee bread

Bee bread is a nutrient-rich mixture produced by honeybees by fermenting pollen with enzymes and honey, transforming it into a digestible and preserved food source. It serves as the primary protein and nutrient supply for the hive’s young bees and queen. Rich in proteins, vitamins, and beneficial microorganisms, bee bread supports the health and development of the colony. It is stored in honeycomb cells and is sometimes harvested by beekeepers for human consumption, prized for its nutritional and potential health benefits.
