Bee pollen has a history that goes back 5,000 years. Famous in Chinese, Greek, Aztec, Egyptian and American Indian folk medicine, it is a tonic with rejuvenating power.

Known as “Ambrosia” or Food of the Gods, pollen has been used for centuries as a food source and to increase energy and stamina.

Bee pollen has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners, including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras, for its healing properties. It is widely labelled as a miracle food.

Life is in the blood; the truth has been known for thousands of years. It is mentioned in the bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts, and now science has verified it. Bees are blessed insects. The bible mentions them 38 times. God promised Abraham the land that flows of milk and honey. The best God given food combination.

A human being is an entity, but at the same time he is composed of trillions of individual cells, each one of which is also an entity, more mysterious in its movements, growth and multiplication than our vast universe, each having the capacity to reproduce itself.
Our health and life depends on the condition of these cells. To live and reproduce themselves, the cells need food, food that contains all the necessary factors, proteins, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, etc, for their growth and multiplication. This food they obtain from the blood which through the arteries, veins and capillaries reaches every cell in the body.
The blood takes all these nutrients from the food we eat and has all the potentials for good or bad health depending on the variety and the quality of that food.

This living river is responsible for health or sickness, life or death. Life when it contains all the vital elements for life, sickness and death when it is loaded with acids, toxins and poisons. This is why periodic fasting was so much apart of life in ancient times as the abstinence from food for a short period of time cleansed and regulated the blood. Health was revitalised and toxic substances in the blood line were eliminated.

The Evolution of Bee Pollen
The development of every plant and animal on the planet was shaped by evolution. Evolution is driven by gene mutations, or genetic accidents. Most mutations cause detrimental changes that cause the plant or animal to die. However, on very rare occasions, beneficial mutations occur, and these are passed on to successive generations-as nature selects for stronger, more optimal individuals, or in popular terms 'survival of the fittest'. Beneficial mutations allow plant and animals to develop a competitive edge over similar plants in the battle for reproduction and survival.

Here's an example: in the rainforest, there is a huge variety of plants. In fact, there are so many plants that they battle each other for space and sunlight. The trees that have evolved to grow the tallest, and the fastest, out-compete the other trees in the race for sunlight. They are the plants that win the battle for survival. However, this may be temporary, because other plants are evolving to become more competitive with the leaders. Evolution is an on-going competition.

In much the same way that rainforest trees compete for sunlight, flowering plants compete with each other for the bees services. The ability of a flowering plant to attract bees translates directly into their reproductive success. If bees give a greater share of attention to a certain species of plant, then that plant will propagate more and will become the dominant plant in the area. While bees collect pollen from all types of plants, they show preferences for certain types of pollen. The pollen that is most attractive to bees, naturally, is pollen that provides the best nutrients for their health. In this plant competition, reproductive success is driven by the ability to evolve the most nutritious pollen that will attract the most bees. Plants with lower quality pollen are then driven to evolve higher quality pollen in order to become more competitive for the bees attention.

150 million years of this evolutionary pressure has driven bee pollen to become more and more nutritionally superior. The end product of this process of natural selection is bee pollen with high intensity nutrition.

The benefits of bee pollen have been written about for thousands of years in ancient medical texts. Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, believed that bee pollen contributed to long life.
Russian researcher Prof. Nicolai Vasilievich Tsitsin, a biologist and experimental botanist at the Longevity Institute, tried to discover why so many natives of Georgia, formerly of the Soviet Union, reportedly lived to upwards of 125 years old. Most of these modern Methuselah’s who live in dry, desert-like climates, are beekeepers, who every day eat raw, unprocessed honey with bee pollen. "All of the 200 or more people past 125 years of age in Georgia, without exception, state that their principal food is pollen and honey - mostly pollen.
