Bee pollen has increasingly gained popularity among superfoods for its rich nutrition and antioxidative properties. In Taiwan, harvesting bee pollen is a delicate and labor-intensive process. Right after the honey season, bee farmers move hundreds of hives up to the mountains, with each hive weighing 20kg. Before the moving process, farmers sedate the bees with smoke in order to prevent stings and other types of aggression. After the harvest, bee pollen is dried in low temperature for three consecutive days, a way of preservation and quality control.
