Organic Bee Pollen – Are You Getting The Best And The Safest?
The whole ‘honey laundering’ scandal which has engulfed China, Asian countries and the US crime scene has attracted a lot of attention recently. This is because people are at last waking up to the fact that organic bee pollen is not a given, unfortunately.
The innocent bees collecting bee pollen, as shown on this video, can no longer be taken for granted!
Reports In The Huffington Post
If you read The Huffington Post, you will see many more details but it now appears that the US public does have a slightly better chance of buying organic bee pollen and other honey products than before the scandal broke.
What Is Really In Bee Pollen ?
Basically the scandal was that bee pollen and other bee products were full of drugs, chemicals and other illegal contaminants. Reading the indictment is like entering into the shady world of criminal gangs. You name it, it is all there. We have fake lab reports, phony data, smuggling, and even illegal honey packing facilities in the Cascade Mountains!
Is Your Bee Pollen Really Organic?
Now that gets you thinking about what you should be looking for when you buy the so called organic bee pollen. If it is truly organic, it will have the following features:-
- gathered by honeybees in unpolluted areas such as New Zealand
- beekeepers are certified and controlled
- no risky additives are actually given to bees such as fructose corn syrup
- there is no risk that the HMF neurotoxin is anywhere near where the bees harvest.
- nature and the countryside are uncontaminated
- procedures are in place for extracting any contaminants and other things like insect wings and other debris.
- bee pollen is fully bio available and free of contaminants like heavy metals.
- no risk that dangerous insecticides containing neonicotinoids are used in the harvesting area.
- no honey has been adulterated with antibiotics such as chloramphenicol
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Scandal
The recent scandal surrounding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which allowed the use of this highly toxic insecticide containing neonicotinoids to be used all over the world may be partly responsible for the decline of the bee colonies.
It is a disgrace that this should have ever happened. More phony lab reports here and graft. Human greed knows no end!
It seems that it has never been so urgent to check where your organic bee pollen and honey are coming from and what sort of processing they have been through. Time to do some homework and get the best and safest on the market to-day!
