Bee bread: useful properties and application

We all know that the sweetest remedy in the world is honey. But indefatigable toilers of the bee create other unique products that people have long used in medicine. The most unique among them, undoubtedly, is bee bread. Perga is its official name. In the spring, only the sun begins to warm up, the bees are selected from the hives and go in search of the first blossoming flowers. Having died during the winter in their close "mansions" without any work, the bees actively begin to collect nectar, and with it also the pollen. Probably, many saw yellow-orange balls on the legs of these toilers. Sometimes the pollen is so big that you marvel at how an insect manages to get up with it. Bringing home the coveted trophy, the bees mix it from the "dough", fill them with honeycomb and again fly in search of a new product. Why do they need so much? How do bees use their bees? How can people benefit from it? So, about everything in order.

The value of pollen for bees

Why nectar is needed, of course. From it, bees make honey. What about the pollen? Maybe she accidentally sticks to the paws of an insect during his crawling on the flower and only hinders the work? But in nature there are no unnecessary accidents. Pollen is, in fact, the male germ cells of plants carrying the information of the gene pool of each species and containing a specific set of chemicals specific for each group of plants, and in very high concentration. This is a unique invention of nature, allowing to continue its genus on Earth and plants, and bees.

Smart insects have adapted to make a special product from pollen - bee bread, which feeds larvae, bees, nurse, bee-builders, drones, that is, all members of the swarm from small to large. The larvae grow tens of times over such food in a few days. In bees, nurses pollen activates the production of royal jelly, without which the queen of beehives can not live - the uterus. The bee-builders of pollen contribute to the work of wax glands, which means that new honeycombs are successfully being built. Drones without pollen can not become fully sexually mature and fulfill their role in prolonging the life of the hive. As you can see, the "bread" activates the work of all the organs of the bees. Studies of scientists have reliably established that this unique product has such an effect on the human body.

The recipe for bees bread

When the bee crawls over the flowers, the motes are attached to the hairs covering her abdomen. The insect combs itself with paws, collecting specks of dust in specific baskets, and that these designs do not disintegrate, already on the flower glues the specks of its saliva. It turns out the so-called update, which we can see on the legs of bees. Its color is often yellowish-orange, but can be pure yellow, whitish, slightly greenish, bright orange, and the taste is sweet to bitter. It depends on what flowers the bee is working on.

Collecting as much as she can carry, she delivers the update to the hive. There, the unique raw material is placed in honeycomb, rammed and sealed with honey. All. The bees' bread is ready. For protection, he can also be preserved with lactic acid, which is produced in a "bee bakery". Therefore, the product resulting from all efforts is absolutely sterile. Members of the swarm eat it as needed without any other treatment. Man also has to make certain manipulations to feast on this bee culinary masterpiece.

Cellular Perga

Not everyone knows the name of bee bread. His name is not very sonorous - Perga. On sale, it can be of several types, not equivalent in terms of usability and availability of useful substances in it. The most natural is the honeycomb. This is what the beekeepers get out of the hives on the frame, that is, to which the man made no effort. Cellular pergas, although it is the most natural product, but it's not very pleasant to use. The fact is that the bees do not build new honeycombs to "bake" their bread, but they kill the cells already left in their hive after the brood. Their walls are usually rigid. In addition, they may contain remains of cocoon larvae, the so-called merva. Perga in such honeycombs is a maximum of 60%, and the rest is the remains of cocoons and wax. Many people try to buy the honeycomb, thinking that it is the most useful. Its disadvantage, in addition to eating unnecessary measure and uncomfortable chewing, is a low shelf life due to the rapid formation of mold.

Ground Perga

This product is also called perga paste. Such bee bread reviews are different. One paste is pleasant, because in this form it is pleasant to use for food. In others, it causes allergies. Such a reaction is observed in people who do not tolerate honey, because about one-third of it is in paste, and only about 40% of bee bread itself. Prepares the paste by grinding honeycombs and mixing the resulting mass with honey. There are also consumers who do not like the commercial appearance of pasta, but these are purely subjective assessments.

Granulated Perga

This is the most ideal bee bread, the only disadvantage of which is the individual intolerance of its constituents. Prepared granular pepper is simple - the honeycombs taken from the hive are frozen, thoroughly cleaned of wax and the remains of cocoons, separate granules, hexahedrons, which, in fact, is the coveted therapeutic product. This kind of bee bread is stored long and well, all the useful substances are completely preserved, easily chewed. The taste, color and smell of the granules may differ, depending entirely on what the bees collected pollen. Much better if they worked on herbs. If the bees used only a certain type of flowering plants, for example sunflower, perga can acquire a characteristic smell and taste.

Composition of Perga

Scientists have found in bee bread several dozens useful for people microelements and chemicals. The nutritional value of this unique product is higher than that of the pollen of flowers, which was not processed by enzymes, about 3 times. In perge, there are vitamin C (up to 200 mg% or 2000 mg per liter), B1 - up to 15 mg / l, B2 - up to 19 mg / l, B6 up to - 9 mg / l, P - about 600 mg / l, A - about 50 mg / l, E - up to 1700 mg / l, D - up to 6 mg / l, mineral salts - up to 70 mg / l, organic acids - up to 50 mg / l. In each honeycomb there can be from 140 to 180 milligrams of bee bread. In addition, in perge there are trace elements (iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium), proteins, special enzymes and hormones. According to its nutritional qualities, it corresponds to meat and milk.

How correctly to take bee bread?

It would seem a very simple question, but there is no single answer to it. Some healers are advised to do this before eating, and always drink plenty of water. Others, on the contrary, recommend using pergus only about half an hour after the meal ends.

Having familiarized themselves with the research of scientists and their many recommendations, we decided on this method of taking the remedy: the bee bread should be eaten no later than 20 minutes before the main meal, without washing anything down. The fact is that the pearl with human saliva perfectly interacts and begins its beneficial activity (the necessary chemical reactions) already in the mouth, so the healing granules need to dissolve, like sweets. The quantity of a single dose may vary depending on the severity of the disease. Most often it is advised to take at a time only 1/3 of a teaspoon of pure perga or a teaspoon of a mixture of Perga and honey. You can not take this magic medicine before going to sleep, because you can easily lose sleep.

The number of receptions perg per day can be three or two. The duration of treatment also depends on the type and severity of the disease. Sometimes it takes a week to heal, and in some cases you need to stretch the course for three or even four months.
