Super Bee - 100% Bee Pollen Powder
This Bee Pollen Powder is made in the USA and is considered nature's Super Food. It boosts the immune system, gives energy, and has lots of protein! Since it's human grade and organic you can add it to your smoothies for a natural vitamin B, energy, and immune system boost!
Great for ALL reptiles! Crested Geckos and Bearded Dragons really seem to benefit from this wonderful supplement! I have also given it to my Blue Tongue Skinks, Leachies, Chameleons, and many other reptiles! Even my dogs!
For reptiles: Add it to slurries, pureed foods like pumpkin puree, gecko foods, dust your insects with it, sprinkle it over greens and veggies, and gut-load your bugs. Use it 2-5 times a week for general supplementation.
It's rich in protein (about 25% protein),18 vitamins, 25 minerals, bioflavonoids, vitamin B12, 14 fatty acids, and 22 amino acids. It is extremely high in carotenes, which are metabolic precursors of vitamin A.
Keep in the refrigerator for maximum freshness. It may clump up when refrigerated but the clumps easily break apart when mixed. Like honey, Bee Pollen doesn't go bad. It will loose some of its effectiveness over time, but it is chocked full of natural antioxidants that naturally fight spoilage. We recommend refrigerating your Bee Pollen and using it up within a year for maximum effectiveness.
