Doctors have proven that bee bread has many beneficial properties, the achievement of which depends on how to take this beekeeping product and in what form. Unfortunately, not all people even know what bee bread is, but it is a storehouse of vitamins, medicinal components and microelements. Therefore, in this article we will consider the features of the formation of beekeeping products, and in particular, what is bee bread, why this bee product has beneficial properties and how to take it according to recipes for women, men and children.
Bee bread - what it is, composition and meaning
Perga is pollen. The product is collected by bees. Bees use plant flowers to collect beebread. After collection, the product is placed in honeycombs and compaction occurs. After all this, the beebread is poured with honey from above, remaining protected under the honey layer. Essentially, beebread is a protein-carbon feed. And bees feed on this food, which is why bee bread is also called bee bread.
As soon as the product is sealed with honey, lactic acid immediately begins to form, which preserves the bee bread. Even in winter, when it is freezing outside, bee bread does not lose its beneficial properties and serves as excellent food for bees in the spring. As already mentioned, beebread is considered a protein food that bees love so much. Interestingly, it is not only used as food for adults. The bee product is primarily used by bees to feed brood.
Beebread is sealed in honeycombs; it is believed that one cell contains an average of 150 grams of bee bread. The calculation is to ensure that this amount is enough to feed 1-2 bee larvae. Bee bread contains:
- amino acids;
- vitamins;
- enzymes.
This explains the biological value of the product for the bee colony. The main difference between beebread and pollen is that it is sterile, unlike the latter. Sterility helps the product to be better absorbed, which is very important for the growth of larvae. It is believed that beebread contains 3 times more useful substances than pollen. There is no question of pollen substitutes - the substitutes contain at least 10 times less nutrients.
Pollen is considered a natural antibiotic, but bee bread has antibiotic characteristics that are 3 times greater than any pollen composition. Next, we’ll look directly at what bee bread looks like, and we’ll show photos in different states depending on the technology of processing the product.
Chemical composition
The main ingredient in bee bread is pollen. No specialist can name the exact composition of the product. The components may differ depending on the region and the location of the apiary, but the constant components are always present in different proportions.
Biochemical composition:
- monosaccharides;
- amino acids (16 types);
- fatty acids (13 types);
- carotenoids;
- vitamins (E, C, D, P, K, group B);
- macro- and microelements;
- organic acids;
- enzymes;
- hormone-like substances;
- carotenoids.
It is worth noting that the processed product contains more vitamins and minerals than pollen. Bee bread is perfectly absorbed by the body, but in terms of the amount of protein and fat it is slightly inferior to its base. Mostly people use bee bread to saturate the body with useful components.
What bee bread looks like: product photo and benefits
The most natural, unprocessed bee bread will be found in honeycombs . However, you have to pay for complete naturalness with some disadvantages of bee bread in this version. It is unacceptable to store the product in areas with high humidity. Otherwise, mold may appear, because it only grows in moist air. If it is too hot, wax moth larvae may eat the bee bread. The pure product is found in combs, the color of which is black, and the purpose is brood. In such cells, with the exception of directly natural bee bread and wax, there are brood cocoons, the shirts of which are called merva. The share of beebread in a honeycomb is on average 50%. In some cases, the concentration of bread for bees can reach 60%, but in any case, the remainder of the mass is wax, merva and water.
If you grind bee bread in a honeycomb and add a third of the mass of natural honey, you will get bee bread paste . To prepare beebread paste correctly, it is necessary that the concentration of honey in the mixture is 30%. Honey promotes long-term storage of the product. Ground bee bread is a composition with an unknown amount of pure product in terms of dry matter. The concentration of pure bee bread in bee bread paste rarely exceeds 30-40%. Some people do not like this type of product because it already contains honey. Other shortcomings include inappropriate presentation.
Beebread can also look like granules , we’ll tell you what it is. The beebread that beekeepers remove from the honeycombs is hard to the touch. Has 6 faces of prisms. It no longer contains wax or wax. And most importantly, it is dried enough to be stored for up to 12 months. In this type of product, the presence of foreign impurities approaches zero. People do not touch the granules themselves; there is no intervention in this regard. A person only cleans beebread from dead wax and wax. The technology often uses freezing, but this does not harm the product in any way - bee bread does not lose its medicinal qualities due to exposure to cold.
How to use bee bread in honeycombs?
Bee bread can be used to support bees during unfavorable periods when food is running out (most often, this happens in the spring). But bee bread can be stored in honeycombs for personal use. In addition to the beebread itself, the unrefined product in the honeycomb contains wax, remains of cocoons and larvae. Although fresh bee bread extracted from honeycombs can be considered the most valuable product of all types of bee bread.
Specialist nutritionists recommend using only natural products for prevention and treatment. It is for this reason that bee bread located directly in the honeycomb is most useful. You can take it in the form in which the bees prepared it: cut off a small piece of honeycomb and chew it thoroughly.
When the healing honey mass interacts with human saliva, the body fully absorbs the beneficial properties of beebread. The remaining piece of wax after chewing should be thrown away.
In this way (chew a piece of honeycomb 3-4 times a day) you can solve problems with the liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, cholecystitis, and thyroid disorders.
Due to the high content of organic iron in bread, which is perfectly absorbed thanks to enzymes, bee bread helps with anemia by increasing hemoglobin.
Bee bread is indispensable during recovery after severe operations and when the body is exhausted. The substances it contains help restore cells and heal wounds, and fight microbes.
When consuming bee bread, there is no special recipe or too strict dosages. Approximately for an adult, depending on his condition, 10-30 g of beebread in a comb is enough, for children - up to 5 g.
But even if a larger amount of the product is consumed, the body will absorb exactly as much as the body needs. There will be no harm or benefit in case of an overdose for a healthy body.
To maintain good health, it is enough to take a monthly course of the product 3 times a year.
By the way, bee bread is the only product produced by bees that is not an allergen.
A reasonable amount of bee bread will be useful for expectant mothers, children (but not infants), and the elderly. It is also possible to use bee bread for type II diabetes (for type I diabetes, honey and bee bread are contraindicated due to the high sugar content) under the supervision of a doctor and with mandatory periodic checking of blood glucose levels.
Due to the strong tonic effect of the product, it is recommended to consume bee bread 3-4 hours before bedtime. Also, after chewing a piece of bread, you should not drink for at least 30 minutes.
The property of bee bread to thin the blood should also be taken into account, so those who suffer from low blood clotting should not abuse the product uncontrolledly.
If there are no obvious contraindications, but when consuming bee bread, stomach discomfort, nausea, bloating, diarrhea occurs, you should stop taking the product or use the bee product with caution, in small portions, trying to avoid overdoses.
Important: to treat diseases, you need to use beebread prepared no more than one year ago.
