We Beekeepers are Serious


James points to the copy on the label: "We Beekeepers are serious about the True Quality."

Indeed we are.  A note on bee pollen, though: it's sold as a supplement with big promises as to its effectiveness in treating a number of conditions.  Among them: PMS, hay fever, mouth sores, rheumatism, radiation sickness, weight loss, brain hemorrhage, constipation, colitis, eczema, and diaper rash, among others.  As with many dietary supplements, there is no reliable scientific evidence that bee pollen has any effect in any of these cases.  More study is probably necessary--but don't believe everything you read.
