Bee Bread (Perga) – a natural superfood from the hive

Harvest 2025, fresh

Bee bread (also called perga) is one of the most valuable natural products from the hive. For people looking for natural, concentrated sources of nutrients, bee bread can be a true discovery.

What is bee bread?

Bee bread is a natural product made from flower pollen collected by bees and processed inside the hive. It is a true superfood from the hive, full of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids omega-3, omega-6, and enzymes.

Thanks to the fermentation process, bee bread is better absorbed than pollen and is characterized by exceptional health-supporting properties.

How is bee bread made?

Bees collect flower pollen, combine it with honey and enzymes, then pack it into comb cells and seal the cell with a wax cap. Under anaerobic conditions, lactic fermentation occurs, involving lactic acid bacteria – similar to the “pickling” process used to preserve food.

This is how bee bread is created – a natural dietary supplement with a slightly sour, honey-like taste and a rich nutritional profile. Fermentation makes it stable, probiotic, and exceptionally valuable for health.

Note: Lactic-acid-producing bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus) develop at around 35°C. They help break down the pollen grain оболки, which makes fermented pollen easier to absorb for both bees and the human body.

What does bee bread look like?

Bee bread comes in the form of small, hard, hexagonal pieces reflecting the honeycomb cells, with colors ranging from yellow to brown depending on the pollen source.

It tastes slightly sour and sweet — an effect of natural fermentation. It dissolves easily in the mouth and combines perfectly with natural honey or water.

Who is bee bread for?

Bee bread is recommended for:

• people who are weakened, overworked, and stressed,
• seniors and people after illness and during recovery,
• athletes and physically active people,
• people struggling with anemia,
• anyone who wants to naturally strengthen immunity and improve well-being,
• as supplementation for vitamin deficiencies.

It is not recommended only for people allergic to bee products.

What does bee bread help with?

Bee bread for immunity is natural support for the body. It helps during periods of weakness, anemia, recovery, and increased physical or mental effort.

It also supports gut microflora, has probiotic effects, and protects cells from oxidative stress.

Thanks to its high iron content and vitamin B12, bee bread may help with symptoms of fatigue and vitamin deficiencies.

How to use bee bread?

• It is best to consume 1 teaspoon daily (for adults) – dissolved in honey or directly, e.g., slowly dissolving a small amount under the tongue.
• For children, ½ teaspoon daily is enough.
• Most recommended is to prepare a drink – dissolve bee bread in lukewarm water and drink after a few hours (or prepare it in the evening and drink it in the morning).

Regular use brings the best results – after 2–3 weeks you may notice improved well-being, energy, and immunity.

Bee bread – price and availability

The price of bee bread is relatively high compared to other bee products. This is because far less bee bread is harvested than pollen and honey. Extracting bee bread from the comb is very labor-intensive, and removing it damages the combs that are used for honey production.

In our apiary we offer natural bee bread from our own hives, without additives or preservatives.

By choosing products from our apiary, you can be sure you are buying real bee bread – fresh, natural, and full of nutritional value.
