Following news that a Multi-Billion Dollar Business, owned by an American religious group is covertly selling a bee pollen product, which is targeted at youngsters through claims of it giving increased energy, it's emerged that professionals are increasingly using the same substances.
These non-medicinal uses for physical and mental stamina are contributing to the decline in bee populations, along with everyone who consumes more than their fair share of the honey pot.
This high demand results in over-harvesting of the nutrient and vitamin rich pollen, which the bees rely on for food in winter, and is replaced by just sugar water.
