Pollen

What are the vitamins and minerals in Pollen

The pollen science is Palynology.

Pollen Production:Pollen is collected using pollen traps. The pollen carried by the bees passing through the traps, which can be mounted to the hive inlet in different ways, accumulates in the trap chamber. The pollen accumulated in the reservoir is discharged at intervals of 1-2 days and dried in drying cabinets at a temperature not exceeding 42 ° C and the water rate is reduced to 7-8%. The pollen, which is then passed through sieves and cleaned, is packaged in an airtight manner and stored at room temperature for storage for up to 6 months in cold environment for longer periods of storage. Dried and cleaned pollen to be stored in the freezer for a long time. 

Anzer pollen which is made by the caucasian bees. They bring in the Anzer pollen to their hives to feed their young. The Anzer plateau has a unique flora due to its rich endemic flower species and has a high rate of minerals and vitamins.

The chemical contents, color, taste, smell and appearance of pollen varies by plant species. It is mostly yellow and it is possible to find black, purple and pink pollen. Since Anzer Plateau host many flowers and endemic species, Pollen content have opulent  variety. In  addition, the source of honey is determined by the analysis of pollen content.

Experiments on pollen have shown that pollen collection does not have a significant negative effect on the development of the colony and consequently on honey production.

However, we are producing Anzer Honey and Anzer Pollen in Anzer plateau by honey bees and their pollen We produce only Anzer honey and anzer pollen by our honey bees. 

In the researches about the bees, it was found that if the pollen was collected, the bees would go to the pollen collection areas and pass the small pollen clusters to the colony despite the pollen trap. 

In addition to honey production, it is certain that pollen harvesting for commercial use or for commercial purposes is more conducive and profitable for beekeeping. 

Pollen are technically dried in drying cabinets and can be dried in a simple, airy and shade-free place without direct sunlight.
