Did you know that sunflower pollen has medicinal, protective effects on bees?
This particular fellow is covered in that healthy delicious pollen. With bee populations in decline, a new study offers hope for a relatively simple mechanism to promote bee health and well-being: providing bees access to sunflowers.
The study showed that two different species of bees fed a diet of sunflower pollen had dramatically lower rates of infection. They also had generally better colony health than bees fed on diets of other flower pollens.
