is another important production that we can get the apiary and have important life skills that benefit human health. Is an essential element in feeding and breeding adult bees, but not consumed directly, as part of their diet to remain suspended in the honey consumed. The bees carry the hive prepare them correctly in the field like small balls placed in a basket located in the hind legs to reach the hive they put in the cell immediately to the breeding to be consumed immediately once there the ability to move, not being enough to feed the larvae is almost zero, if for some reason is not totally consumed may hold several diapers and even botching the colony without removing it from the cells.
In Asturias in general there is no difficulty for the bees to find everything they need and still have plenty, hence it may be desirable to collect a portion for consumption.
When we want to get pollen in the runner must place a special device called "cazapolen" and is composed of a metal or plastic plate having holes of 4.5mm which when crossed by the workers make the rub pollen balls with the edges of the perforations, causing his fall into a drawer beneath and part of the appliance, drain off the inside even every day if the humidity is high, after collected and reviewed to remove any impurities that may be be dried in hot air without exceeding 40 ° c moving the pollen mass we placed on screens and thin, never dry in the sun, this last drying ensure that the final product moisture is 8% to finally pack it in airtight jars.
is of utmost importance to assess the time that the traps can be placed as though it seems that a few days after the bees placed traps decreases the size of the balls to make it through the grid this may not be sufficient to provide the amount necessary consumption of the young may even die of hunger. With this in mind every four days removed the grilles allowing free access to the workers, there will be places where they should be removed before or stay more time is very important personal value.
noteworthy is the variety of colors of Asturias and pollen ranging from heavy to lighter red, green, gray, various shades of yellow and white, that makes this production is very striking when in encouraging packaging sale. Pollen packaging may be altered by bacteria that destroy thereby taking a short shelf life.
As the most common is that taste is not too pleasant should consume it after mixing it with some juice or food that we disguise the taste. Product qualities that we seek to deserve consumption.
