Bad Attitude Bees'
pollen profile
To ensure the highest quality standards, Bad Attitude Bees’ honey was submitted to Mellifloral Honey Pollen Solutions for a thorough pollen profile analysis. Performing this extra step helps our valued consumers better understand the flora that the bees forage.
about our honey's pollen profile
According to the analysis, Bad Attitude Bees’ honey profile pollen concentration value is 1,057 pollen grains per gram of honey, which is consistent with most honey produced from floral sources. Note: Unidentifiable pollen reflects pollen too degraded to identify
pollen concentration
Pollen is introduced into honey directly from nectar and to a lesser extent from bee bodies as they navigate the hive. Consequently, pollen concentration in honey can fluctuate due to numerous factors, and the environmental and in-hive conditions that affect it are not fully understood. In fact, the pollen concentration within honey can significantly differ from year to year within the same hive. The table below presents possible interpretations. (Source: MelliFloral)
rose (rosaceae) family
As you can see, the most significant percentage of pollen found in our honey is from the rose (Rosaceae) family. In North Carolina, these plants include common fruit-bearing trees and shrubs like apple, pear, plum, and cherry, as well as native and ornamental plants such as various species of wild rose, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry.
