There is now a little more public awareness about the plight of the bees. There is also more knowledge about the differences between the various bee products, such as bee pollen vs honey and so on.
Bee products have a long and varied history. In more recent times in America, the Pilgrim Fathers brought with them hives of honeybees to start pollinating plants and also pastures. The bee became known to American natives as the 'white man's fly'.

Back in the UK, the town hall in Manchester which was the centre of the industrial revolution is decorated with bee mosaics. The bee has become the symbol of the work ethic and expressions such as ' busy as a bee' are still common in modern English usage.
As regards which is better when considering the bee pollen vs honey question, this very much depends on what we need these bee products for. In general it is true to say that:-
• royal jelly is better suited for rejuvenating and healing
• bee pollen provides more energy and vitality
• propolis is better at protection
• honey is exceptional in providing nourishment and healing.
But let us look at the fabulous benefits of both these bee products in more detail. Let us take honey first. It is astonishing to learn about the complicated process of making honey which the bees employ. When we think that to produce just one pound of honey, the bees must provide the hive with 70,000 loads of nectar, we are rightly astounded. If the beehive is working at full production, it is capable of producing up to 300 pounds of honey a year.
Here a few of the fabulous health benefits of honey. It can
• help to heal wounds by protecting them while boosting healing
• it can be a great antibacterial agent and has been used in fighting some of the MSRA bugs which have been resistant to antibiotics
• it can help to heal abscesses and even gastric ulcers
• honey should be one element in antiseptics because of its healing power.
• can be used to treat sore throats, colds and other respiratory ailments.
As regards bee pollen health benefits we can list the principal ones:-
• it is a more complete food than honey itself and is particularly rich in amino acids which are the building blocks of protein.
• it is an inverted sugar and this has a soothing effect on the intestines and also provides sufficient lubrication which helps to avoid constipation.
• it has antibiotic properties which are effective against salmonella and also the E. coli bug.
• it can assist in weight loss because it can stabilize the metabolism and at the same time prevent food cravings as it is providing all the essential nutrients.
As we have seen, there is no real answer to the question about bee pollen vs honey as this very much depends on individual needs. We should note though that the therapeutic effects of bee products in general are powerful agents of health and healing and there are no side effects, unlike many synthetic medicines on the market to-day.
