Descrição

Bee pollen (BP), is the result of the agglutination of flower pollens, made by worker honey bees, with nectar and salivary substances and collected at the hive entrance. The collection of AP is a relatively recent development, dependent primarily on the basic concept of scraping pollen of the bees' legs as they enter the hive. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of storage conditions in the physical-chemical and microbiological parameters of organic bee pollen.
