Description

Organic Transylvanian Bee Pollen | Pure Carpathian Mountain Harvest

Our Bee Pollen Granules are sourced from the National Biosphere Reserve of the Danube Delta in Romania — one of the most pristine and ecologically rich environments in Europe.

The Danube Delta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to over 5,500 species of flora and fauna. This pollution-free environment is vital for producing high-quality bee pollen.

What Makes This Bee Pollen Unique?

🐝 Harvested from bee colonies spread across a vast area, ensuring a rich diversity of floral sources.
🌸 Collected in the famous Carpathian region of Transylvania, known for its wildflowers and untouched landscapes.
🌿 The result is a vibrant pollen with a complex nutritional profile and broad spectrum of plant nutrients.

The bee hives in this region typically contain around 100 colonies, with larger setups of 200 colonies being quite rare. Commercial beekeepers will typically manage thousands of colonies. As a result, the bee pollen is gathered from a wide-ranging area, ensuring a rich diversity of wildflowers and botanical sources in its composition. The pollen is collected in the picturesque Carpathian Mountains, in the legendary region of Transylvania, known for its pristine landscapes and abundant flora. Intensive agriculture is not practiced in this region. The local communities primarily engage in small-scale, self-sufficient farming, often growing food in their backyard gardens for personal use. Due to the area's hilly and mountainous terrain, large-scale farming is not possible, and the primary local activity is animal husbandry. This pristine environment helps ensure the purity and quality of the bee pollen collected.

Our bee pollen is carefully harvested from hives of Apis mellifera carpatica bees, a gentle and resilient subspecies native to the Carpathian region. Known for their calm temperament and strong resistance to disease, Carpatica bees thrive with minimal intervention, allowing beekeepers to follow a more natural, hands-off approach, and work in the bee yard without any protection. This method prioritizes the well-being of the bees, enabling them to forage freely in pristine environments. The result is pure, nutrient-rich pollen collected with care, preserving both the bees’ health and the integrity of the final product.

About Bee Pollen - Organic

The internal work procedure:

Based on the special literature and on our observations, we put the basis for a collecting, transporting, stocking and drying system. This system proves to be very efficient in preventing the appearance of the butterfly larvae, this being the most frequent and serious problem of the dried pollen.

Beginning with 2005 this system proved to be very efficient, all such problems disappearing completely

The pollen is identified by region, type, date of harvest, by beekeepers (traceability), by label and packaging inscriptions; this method offers us precise information about our product.

The beekeepers from our network have in custody deep freezer boxes distributed by us. Thus, the pollen is collected daily.

Immediately after collecting it, the beekeepers put the pollen in the deep freezer boxes at the temperature of – 18*C and store it here until we take it over. The time between two pollen acquisitions is 7-12 days.

The transport from the beekeepers to our warehouse lasts between 2 and 7 hours. After the transport the pollen cartons, palletized, are stored in a professional deep freezer box, having the capacity of 20-30 tones, at the temperature of -20*C. The pollen stays in the deep freezer box until it arrives to the next step: the drying process. The preservation of the pollen under such conditions prevents the appearance and development of the germs.

The drying process takes place in tunnels with warm air, +30*C, max. +40*C, with a very good ventilation, in 3 - 4 tonnes/ lot. The tunnels are specially built for this purpose and they have inside a controlled atmosphere. These conditions guarantee a uniform, continuous drying process and it lasts until the humidity of the pollen is within the parameters required by the client, humidity and excessive light, the bee pollen has a validity of 2 years from the moment between 3%-7%.

The pollen’s humidity degree is verified with a humidity meter, latest edition, purchased from Samap, France. (www.samap.fr)

As soon as the pollen is taken out from the tunnels it is hermetically packed in alimentary polyethylene bags, no longer being in contact with the humidity from the atmosphere.

Respecting these conditions and having an appropriate storing, far away from of drying.
