A beekeeper from Europe mentioned to me that it's best to mix pollen with honey in a jar.  Supposedly, the acidic honey dissolves the pollen 'shell' making it more digestable/nutritious for humans.  I suppose it also prevents mold from growing on the pollen.

Anybody know more about this approach?  Does it preserve pollen nutrition and make it more available to us?  I mixed a jar of pollen and honey last night but placed it in the fridge just in case.
