The bee, that little winged creature that people usually shy away from, is one of mankind’s greatest benefactors. The bee gives us honey of course, as well as bee pollen, bee propolis, and royal jelly.
spinIt is a remarkable fact that the human body can survive indefinitely by taking bee pollen tablets, sufficient water and some fibre. Sci-fi films used to show the astronauts just taking a pill as a meal – well, that pill must be a bee pollen tablet! Such is the goodness contained in the daily dose that bee pollen is used in our detox program – your body may be starved of calories but not of the necessary nourishment. Bee pollen is also used by athletes and anyone wanting increased energy and stamina. The high levels of zinc and vitamin B6 also makes bee pollen beneficial to those suffering from depression and PMT.|Although I wouldn’t recommend it, the human body can survive indefinitely by eating bee pollen tablets, some fiber and drinking plenty of water. Those sci-fi movies where astronauts survive by eating pills must be taking bee pollen! Bee pollen is popular with athletes who need extra energy and stamina; and we use it in our detox program when your body’s intake of calories is greatly reduced but nourishment levels remain high. In addition, the high levels of zinc and vitamin B6 means bee pollen is beneficial to those suffering from PMT and depression.|Bee pollen is dust gathered from flowers by bees who take it back to their hives. The qualities of bee pollen are quite remarkable: our bodies can survive indefinitely by taking bee pollen tablets, a little fiber, and plenty of water. Those movies where astronauts survive by just eating tablets must be taking bee pollen! Our popular detox program greatly cuts down on the body’s calorie intake but bee pollen tablets provide all the nourishment required to lose weight healthily. The high levels of vitamin B6 and zinc also mean anyone suffering from depression or PMT will also benefit for taking this supplement.[/spin]
Question: what has far fewer germs than the inside of a hospital’s operating theatre? Answer: the interior of a beehive. The bees line the hive with bee propolis, a sticky resin collected from trees and metabolized by the bees. One of nature’s best antibiotics, bee propolis strengthens our immune systems and helps to relieve the effects of flu, coughs and colds.
The ‘superbug’ MRSA has featured in the media a great deal recently with deaths in hospitals rising as a result of catching the bug while patients’ immune systems are low. Few other antibiotics have much effect on MRSA, but it is extremely sensitive to bee propolis.
Another valuable gift given to us by bees is royal jelly. A queen bee will live for about six years, whilst a worker bee will die after 4-6 weeks. The only difference between the two is that queen bees are exclusively fed royal jelly.
Taking a daily supplement of royal jelly will not, of course, lengthen your life in the same way that it does for queen bees. However, adding that to your diet, together with bee propolis and bee pollen with improve your health by strengthening your immune system; and you will benefit from having more energy. So think twice before swatting any bees that appear to threaten you; they actually benefit your health.
