Food fit for a queen

Our wholefood order arrived the other day and along with it came a tub of bee pollen, just as I had ordered.

I'm not sure if you have come across this stuff before. We eat a lot of honey and regularly take propolis but hadn't tried pollen before now. A quick search on Google brings up lots of claims to include; people who take it become less nervous, more optimistic, are more eager to work, helps with the ability to perform the sexual act, makes fats burn faster and increases the rate of burned calories, contains every nutrient required to sustain and support life in a pure, raw and unaltered form, has natural rejuvenating powers, aids beauty, boosts energy, extends life span etc. Well, having read all that who could resist giving it a try for £4.99 per tub?



It's rather strange looking little granules which taste a bit odd but are fine if sprinkled on a spoon with honey on. The children love them and oddly enough seem to have much more 'buzzy' energy than usual - you know, that kind of here there and everywhere, mischievous sort of energy.

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I'm absolutely exhausted still. Perhaps I need to take a fistful from the tub each time I pass.

Craig suffers very badly with hay fever and uses this as an excuse to avoid camping trips. He is going to take a pollen grain a day and see if it has any effect upon his hay fever this year. It's worth a try (although the first time he took some was a bit scary as you have to be careful with pollen if you have allergies). I'll let you know at the end of the summer if it makes any difference at all.
