General information: Bee Pollen is teeming with vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It includes all the essential components of life, and is rich in rare and precious compounds.

The oldest remnants of bee known to exist are preserved in amber kept at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The bee inside is believed to be over 80 million years old. The honeybee is revered, even deified in many religious cultures throughout history. The book of the Hindu's, the Rig-Veda (circa 2000 - 3000 BC) speaks of bees with awe; Vishnu, the powerful, Protector of the Hindu Trinity of Gods is symbolized as a blue bee on a lotus flower. The East Indian god of love, Kama, wields a bow with a string made of an entwined chain of bees. In cultures worshipping a goddess of fertility, variously named Venus, Diana, Ceres, Cybele, or Iris bees were invariably considered sacred and were minor deities in their own right. Spring fertility rites often used the bee as a symbol for the festivities. No other living creature, other than man, has been held in such high regard by so many diverse cultures.
