I have to confess, there are two different products, one is bee pollen which is the pollen that rubs off the legs of the bees as they enter the hive and then there's bee propolis which is the antibacterial agent they use and can be useful for bacterial D. It's sort of like a natural antibiotic. All that being said I had a look on quackwatch.com and it debunked both products, but I do find it tends to poo poo quite a few natural products. Good luck KC!! Let us know how it goes!
