We all know that the sweetest medicine in the world- this is honey. But tireless bee workers create other unique products that people have long used in medicine. The most unique of them is undoubtedly bee bread. Perga is his official name. In the spring, only begins to warm the sun, the bees get out of the hives and go in search of the first blossomed flowers. Having exhausted themselves over the winter in their close “mansions” without work, the bees actively begin to collect nectar, and with it the pollen. Probably, many saw yellow-orange balls on the paws of these workers. Sometimes the pollen is so large that you wonder how an insect manages to rise into the air with it. Having brought home the coveted trophy, the bees knead the “dough” out of it, fill the honeycomb with it and fly again in search of a new product. Why do they need so much? How do bees use their bee bread? How can people benefit from it? So, first things first.
The value of pollen for bees
Зачем нужен нектар, понятно.Bees make honey from it. And the pollen? Maybe it is accidentally glued to the insect's paws during its crawling over the flower and only interferes with work? But in nature there are no unnecessary accidents. Pollen is essentially male reproductive cells of plants that carry information on the gene pool of each species and contain a set of chemicals that are specific to each group of plants, and in very high concentrations. This is a unique invention of nature, which allows you to continue your kind on Earth to both plants and bees.
Clever insects have adapted to make pollena special product - bee bread, which feed on the larvae, the bee-nurse, the builder bees, the drones, that is, all members of the swarm, young and old. The larvae on such food in a few days grow tenfold. In nursing bees, pollen activates the production of royal jelly, without which the queen beehive, the queen, cannot live. In building bees, pollen contributes to the work of the wax glands, which means that the construction of new honeycombs is proceeding successfully. Drones without pollen cannot become fully mature and fulfill their role in prolonging the life of the hive. As you can see, the “bread” activates the work of all their organs in bees. Scientific studies have reliably established that this unique product has a similar effect on the human body.
Bee bread recipe
When a bee crawls through the flowers, dust particlesattached to the hairs covering its abdomen. An insect comforts itself with its paws, collecting the dust particles in specific baskets, and in order for these constructions not to disintegrate, already on the flower glues the dust particles with their saliva. It turns out the so-called obnozhka, which we see on the legs of bees. Its color is often yellowish-orange, but it can be pure yellow, whitish, slightly greenish, bright orange, and the taste can be from sweet to bitter. It depends on what flowers the bee works on.
Собрав столько, сколько может унести, она delivers an obnozhku in the hive. There, unique raw materials are placed in honeycombs, tamped and sealed with honey. Everything. Bee bread is ready. For greater safety, it can also be preserved with lactic acid, which is produced in the "bee bakery". Therefore, the resulting product of all efforts is absolutely sterile. Members of the swarm eat it as needed without any other treatments. A person has to perform certain manipulations in order to savor this bee culinary masterpiece.
Honeycomb
Not everyone knows the name of bee bread.The name he is not particularly sonorous - pga. On sale it is of several types that are not equivalent in terms of ease of use and the presence of useful substances in it. It is considered the most natural pga cellular. This is what beekeepers get from the hives on the frame, that is, to which the person did not make any effort. Honeycomb perga although it is the most natural product, but to use it is not particularly pleasant. The fact is that the bees do not build new honeycombs to “bake” their bread, but rather pollinate the cells they already have in the hive left after the brood. Their walls are usually hard. In addition, they may contain remnants of cocoons of larvae, the so-called merva. Perga in such comb a maximum of 60%, and the rest - the remnants of cocoons and wax. Many people are trying to buy it cellular perga, thinking that it is the most useful.

Ground quill

Such a reaction is observed in people who do not tolerate honey well, because about one-third is in its paste, and only about one-third of bee bread itself. Preparing pasta by grinding honeycombs and mixing the resulting mass with honey. There are also consumers who do not like the presentation of the paste, but these are purely subjective evaluations.
Granulated perga
This is the most perfect bee bread, disadvantagewhich can only be individual intolerance of its components. It is easy to prepare granulated pollen - honeycombs taken out of the hive are frozen, thoroughly cleaned of wax and residues of cocoons, individual granules, hexagons are isolated, which, in fact, is the desired medicinal product. This type of bee bread is stored for a long time and well, all the useful substances are fully preserved, easy to chew. The taste, color and smell of the granules may differ, which completely depends on what the bees collected pollen on. Much better if they worked on the grass. If the bees used only a certain type of flowering plants, such as sunflower, perga can acquire a characteristic smell and taste.
