Where can I find it?
Bee pollen is sold at specialty grocery stores, some local farmers markets, and online, and will usually set you back around $25 per pound. That’s not cheap—but, as Forbes explains to me, pollen is a relatively expensive protein because it takes a lot of effort to collect pollen (many beekeepers do it daily so that the pollen doesn’t go bad), but in harvesting the stuff, you’re essentially taking food from the hive. In fact, if your bee pollen doesn’t have a high price tag, examine it closely; make sure that it’s fresh and produced locally. Bee pollen is also highly perishable and should be stored in the freezer.
