Interesting. I have read that pollen contains bioflavonoids. The
combination of vitamin C with them is highly recommended for many
situations. Propolis can contain 1/3 pollen, which must add to its
healing properties. I have also heard that pollen is rather variable in
its amino-acids and hence bees can suffer if too long with a single
source (like alder) but that they often plug cells which have carried
diseases such as EFB and slow (stop?/kill?) the bacteria.
