What bee pollen is
Bees collect pollen from flowers and carry it back to the hive in compact granules. Commercial bee pollen is harvested, cleaned and packaged in forms that can differ in colour, granule size and moisture.
Bee pollen and bee bread are not identical
Bee bread is pollen that has been stored and transformed inside the hive, while collected pollen is sold more directly as granules or processed powder. The two should be compared as different formats.
What to check online
Look at stated origin, granule or processed form, net weight, added ingredients if any, and storage instructions. Bee-product allergy warnings are especially relevant in this category.
Pollen colour can naturally vary because it reflects different flowers. Colour alone is not a useful quality test; origin, handling, dryness, packaging and clear storage instructions are more meaningful.
