Kekwick Honey field guide
Raw Desert PollenSeasonal pollen from Central Australia
Collected near Alice Springs in small batches when desert conditions allow. Availability changes with rain and flowering.
What Makes Desert Pollen Different?
Pollen changes with the plants flowering around the hives. In the Red Centre, that can include Desert Bloodwood, River Red Gum, and seasonal desert wildflowers.
Rainfall decides when those plants flower, so colour, flavour, composition, and availability vary from batch to batch.
What bee pollen contains
Bee pollen commonly contains:
- Protein and amino acids in amounts that vary by floral source
- Carbohydrates and fats
- Small amounts of vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds
It is a food, not a medicine, and each untested batch has a different nutrient profile.
