About Irradiated Bee Pollen

Backroad Beekeeping is now selling Irradiated Bee Pollen, 100% produced in the United States. 

This natural pollen, when added to supplemental pollen patties, has shown significant increases in brood production. 

Our pollen is Irradiated at the appropriate doses that have been recommended by government labs to ensure the purest quality, free from AFB, chalkbrood, viruses, and other honeybee diseases, and each batch is certified.

Pollen is the natural food for honeybees and provides most of the nutrients honeybees require for growth and health. The nutrients gained by honeybees from pollen include antioxidants, protein, as well as some vitamins & minerals. Honey provides very little nutrition, except for carbohydrates which are essential for heat and movement. The nutrients from pollen supply everything else the honeybee needs, and bees cannot live long or raise healthy brood without pollen.

The electron beam process we use is like radio waves or light and does not leave any residue, or have any harmful effects.
