Bees are insects not flowers, they don’t have pollen, except the ones they carry from flowers. Flowers are the ones with pollen in which case you would have to test the flower itself.
Go to an allergy clinic and they can give you skin tests based on the types of flower pollen that are prevalent in the area where you live.

Madera Farmer Strikes Gold with Pomegranate Honey
Madera, CA. (Vocus) January 9, 2010
Home Grown Cellars, a local farm located just outside the city limits of Madera, has a new product that is hitting the shelves now.
The farm, which specializes in pomegranate products, recently unveiled their new Pomegranate Honey. “There are all kinds of honey. Clover honey, orange honey,” said Alex Lehman, who owns and operates Home Grown Cellars with his wife Jackie. “Bee keepers put their bees out to pollinate in different fields. Pomegranate is no different. So we set our bees out to pollinate, they gather the pollen from the flowers of the pomegranate; they take it back and make honey in the hive. From that, we extract honey from the hive, bottle it and label it and put it on the shelf for others to enjoy,” he said.
The exclusive use of pomegranate nectar gives the honey a darker color and a caramel like texture to it. Plus the infusion of pomegranate adds some health benefits as well. “Because of the pomegranate itself adding such high antioxidants, my particular belief is that this pomegranate honey has a superior quality in terms of taste health benefits,” said Lehman.
This will be the first full run of the new honey. Lehman said they produced a limited quantity last year as an experiment. The positive feedback prompted a large run of over 2,200 pounds of the natural sweetener this year. “People said they loved it. They were putting it on their toast in the morning and their snacks in the evening,” Lehman said.
Even though the honey has not yet hit the shelves, Lehman said he’s already receiving calls about the product. “We’ve had calls from a couple of grocery stores who want to sell the product on their shelves,” he said.
The new honey is only one of the several pomegranate products offered at Home Grown Cellars. “We have pomegranate soaps which are natural product soaps we make on property, pomegranate oil we extract form the seeds. We have dried seeds available, dried seed meal available,” said Lehman. Other products include pomegranate jellies and jams as well as Zander Nuts which are roasted and candy coated almonds.
Perhaps the most popular product is the Home Grown Cellars Pomegranate Juice. Available in pint sized containers, gallon jugs or even bulk sizes, the farm produces about 2,500 gallons of juice a day from September through generally Thanksgiving.
Pomegranates have some of the highest levels of antioxidants, known for preventing cancer. It has several other benefits as well, according to Lehman. “Studies show that drinking pomegranate juice aids in fighting multiple types of cancer; keeps PSA levels stable; protects the neonatal brain, your arteries, and your teeth; prevents osteoarthritis and Alzheimer’s Disease and lowers blood pressure and cholesterol.”
Unlike most farms, Home Grown Cellars offers tours of their property. The trolley takes guests throughout the orchard, showcasing the pomegranate trees while they learn the history of the farm and the region and get to see how the pomegranate goes from fruit to juice. “Home Grown Cellars exists to help educate the general public about San Joaquin Agriculture and life on the farm. We promote Local Farm Direct Produce sales and wholesome country welcome,” said Lehman.
Guests can also browse the country store, or come back during the fall to pick their own apples, visit the pumpkin patch or see the giant sunflowers.
The farm itself has a long history, as it was started by the Dooley family over 80 years ago. “A lot of that area was farmed by Italians. There also was at one time a German camp of labor workers. Some of the Germans were brought from Ellis Island to do some of the farm work. It’s interesting because we’re German heritage and everything we do is in German, our signs are in German. It’s kind of interesting how it all comes around,” said Lehman.
One of the first sights guests are greeted by on the grounds is an 80 year old orange tree that has grown to massive dimensions. “Most everybody who comes here, including a lot of Canadians and English, admire that tree. They have never seen an orange tree that big,” Lehman said. The tree is over 55 feet tall with a diameter of more than 25 feet.

Los Angeles Artist Uses Space-Age Technology to Show Flowers in a Different Light
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 8, 2011
A Los Angeles photographer has developed a technique to create extremely detailed images of flowers. Using technology used by NASA on Mars, David Leaser’s innovative Nightflowers collection shows large scale botanicals with such detail you can literally see the pollen glistening on the stamens.
The images have attracted the attention of Architectural Digest, and they will be introduced at their 10th Anniversary Home Design Show on March 17 in New York City.
To capture the intense detail of these flowers, Leaser literally had to create a new process. “Traditional camera equipment just didn’t work,” Leaser said. “The images just weren’t sharp enough to enlarge to these sizes, which measure about four feet across.” So, after months of trial and error, he developed a process using sophisticated imaging techniques, including technology from NASA’s missions to Mars. Some are calling it the dettagli process because of the incredible detail in the images. “When you see these large canvases, you literally get a bees-eye view into the flower. You will see things you normally wouldn’t even notice, like the tiny hairs on an orchid,” Leaser said.
John Mendelsohn, reviewer of contemporary art for ArtNet, writes, “Art has always asked us to pay attention to the world in all its darkness and in all its outrageous beauty. David Leaser’s Nightflowers, a series of striking photographs, confronts us with nature at its most flamboyant. In his images, this photographer creates fantastic, contemporary signs from nature’s own high style. They are highly detailed visual records and an artist’s vision of how he apprehends reality.”
The inspiration for this innovation began in the depths of the Amazon. “I was in the Ecuadorean Amazon shooting landscapes but found myself drawn to the small flowers on the floor of the rainforest. You can see complete ecosystems in these flowers if you look closely enough. When I came back to Los Angeles, I spent months experimenting with technology until I was able to recreate these highly detailed views.
“I am extremely honored to have been selected by the jury for inclusion in the Architectural Digest show,” Leaser said. “I’ve been working on Nightflowers for more than three years, and it will be exciting to introduce this collection at such an important event.”
David Leaser has authored four books, including two photographic monographs. Leaser’s Tropical Gardens of Hawaii and Palm Trees: A Story in Photographs have received critical acclaim; the latter was also featured at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego.

Taking bee pollen during pregnancy has been reported with mixed reviews. Many pregnant women swear by the supplement, and are happy with the effects that it brings.
Other women have been leery of using bee pollen due to the lack of available research that endorses or denies that bee pollen can be used during pregnancy.
Women who used bee pollen supplements prior to pregnancy continued its use while they were pregnant and found that their stereotypical effects of pregnancy were reduced.
As an expecting mother, it is always wise to check with your physician before taking new supplements or continuing with old ones when you have had a body change.
For the pregnant women who successfully took bee pollen during their pregnancy, they felt energized and ready to face the day.
Many switched to a multivitamin enhanced with bee pollen instead of taking bee pollen in its natural form. These products provided them with the boost they needed and the extra vitamins, minerals and proteins that comes from bee pollen.
Bee pollen adds extra folic acid, a necessary ingredient for pregnant women.
Expecting mothers need more nutrients than a non-pregnant woman so taking bee pollen enhanced supplements during pregnancy will meet that goal.
No longer do expecting mothers have to consume large amounts of energy rich food to get the recommended amounts of vitamins, minerals and protein during this time. Choosing a supplement especially designed for pregnancy with bee pollen will supply a very efficient amount of the extra nutrients needed.
Other effects of bee pollen during pregnancy are:
1. Accelerates the growth of healthy new cells
2. Promotes increased tissue repair
3. Enhances greater toxic elimination
4. Increases low blood pressure
5. Reduces high blood pressure
6. Promotes increased resistance to infection
7. Stimulates intestines
8. Stabilizes the nervous system
9. Restores normal and healthy appetites
10. Promotes increased growth of skin tissue
11. Regulates all the systemic biological functions
12. Increases calmness and relaxation
13. Promotes increased concentration and memory improvement
All of these conditions in one form or another is experienced by pregnant women. To find relief for some many conditions in one nutrient rich natural product is the greatest gift. If your body reacts well to bee pollen, it is a wonderful way to feel normal during an abnormal time.
If a woman during pregnancy benefits this much from the use of bee pollen enhanced supplements, think of what the addition is doing for your growing child during the most important development-time of a healthy child.
For more information on this subject, read my Bee Pollen During Pregnancy guide.

Bee pollen that is located in the pristine source of New Zealand is the most natural bee pollen we have come across.

Question by Arlie: Is bee pollen a good source of vitamin b-12?
I’ve been vegan for 6 years (taking supplements like calcium and b-12, etc.) I decided to experiment and go raw vegan with no supplements, but am concerned about a b-12 deficiency. It’s made me think about becoming a bee-gan, i.e. vegan with the exception of bee pollen, if it’s a good, sustainable, natural source of b-12. Anyone have info on this? Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by The Youth
I don’t think you can get good vitamins from bee pollen, you could probably do fine with vitamin supplements. Especially since you’re a vegan, ingesting bee pollen would be using an animal for sustenance and I don’t think that’s vegan.

Alka Slim is the only weight-reducing, health-enhancing product that is specifically designed to alkalize and energize at the same time. Once your goal is achieved, use Alka Slim to maintain your weight reduction.
