We collect pure unprocessed and untampered with honey from beekeepers across the world and we bring it straight to your door. We have several hives in Stoke Newington London the honey of which we also sell. Finally summers started, which means we're putting on the beekeeper clothes and getting to work. We think honey from London is some of the most flavoursome in the world. It's going to be available mid to late summer. Established early 2012 we started contacting suppliers of unprocessed, natural honey. We have some very tasty Lithuanian honey for sale.
In the next few weeks and months we're going to be expanding the range of things we sell, expect honeys from different countries, pollen, and gift sets.
Bee pollen has long ago entered our Wild Hives household as a delicious and highly nutritious addition to our diet. So we are very excited that it is finally also available to purchase to our customers.
Bee pollen is made by honeybees, and is the food of the young bee. Honeybees collect hundreds of pollen grains from a single flower adhering them to the tiny hairs on the back of their legs while secreting a sticky substance from their stomach to help pack the pollen into granules, they carry two granules at a time back to the hive and feed it to their young.
That's why here at Wild Hives we've been waiting long and patiently for our beekeepers to collect it at the right time and in the right amounts.
Bee pollen is a complete food and contains many elements that products of animal origin do not possess. It is richer in proteins than any animal source, and it contains more amino acids than beef, eggs, or cheese of equal weight. About half of its protein is in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be used directly by the body.
Energy enhancer - the range of nutrients found within bee pollen makes it a great natural energiser. The carbohydrates, protein and B vitamins can help keep you going all day by enhancing stamina and fighting off fatigue.
At Wild Hives we like starting our day with a spoonful of bee pollen sprinkled on our muesli or fruit salad.
Skin soother - bee pollen is often used in topical products that aim to treat inflammatory conditions and common skin irritations like psoriasis or eczema. The amino acids and vitamins protect the skin and aid the regeneration of cells.
Immune system booster - pollen is good for the intestinal and thereby supports the immune system. It has antibiotic-type properties that can help protect the body from contracting viruses. It's also rich in antioxidants that protect the cells from damaging oxidation of free radicals.
Support the cardiovascular system - bee pollen contains large amounts of Rutin; an antioxidant bioflavonoid that helps strengthen capillaries, blood vessel, assist with circulatory problems and corrects cholesterol levels.
You can take one to three tablespoons of bee pollen daily. Try it in smoothies and shakes, sprinkle on yoghurt or applesauce, on your morning cereal or sprinkle on salads. As fruit fibres reinforce the activity of the fresh pollen, at Wild Hives we like to take a spoonful at breakfast, creating our ultimate breakfast. Try it yourself: chop some different fruit up mixing up some lovely fruit salad, top it with a handful of muesli or granola, a spoonful of yoghurt or a dash of milk and a tablespoon of bee pollen - and you've got the Wild Hives breakfast of champions, that guarantee a great start of your day!
