What is the difference between Bee Pollen and the kind of Pollen that causes hay fever?
Bee Pollen is a mixture of bee saliva, plant nectar and (true) Pollen. It differs from wind-borne Pollens in that its component is purely entomophile from plants – i.e. those that are essential for the fertilisation, and which are dispersed by insects. Wind-borne Pollens are the heavier, anemophile variety, which are implicated in allergies.
