what is the origin of this bee pollen? I'd like mine to be more local (los angeles) than somewhere else...

Hi...well, all I can go by is what is on the bottle and it says that it comes from Y.S. Organic Bee Farms 2774 N. 4351 Rd. Sheridan, IL 60551. I live in the San Diego area. I like this product, it makes me feel good and I like that its easy to take. I just pour some in the palm of my hand and eat it ans swallow it with whatever beverage I have handy. Hope this helps you, thank you for asking... have a great weekend :)

Well plants are plants. As long as the area where they are grown is organic I am fine with it.I personally have a hive for honey, but I don't collect the pollen, might someday try. This pollen is nice. It is packed with every nutrient your body needs.

I don't know the answer to this question. I suggest calling or e-mailing the producers as they have been helpful in the past. I've been using this bee pollen powder every morning mixed with lowfat plain yogurt, banana, and red grapes. it's a great way to start the day.Norm

You can read more about them from this website;http://www.ysorganic.com/history.htmlHowever the product I purchased says it's headquarters are in Sheridan Illinois but that the product itself is either from Brazil or Canada. Hope this helps! ^_^ Since then I've talked to people who had actual organic farms in the states before the contamination made it impossible (I live in TN) and that this tastes authentic although their memory of their own honey is of course superior, hehe. Try it and review the company page I sent you. -Dani.

Call the manufacturer but I do believe it is non-discriminating. I had glorious blooms with use of this product but I also had no honey bees that year. Last year I opted not to use it and used a little Epsom salts instead, to help boost growth/blooms. I had way more honey bees. Not certain if that's coincidental or not. I won't use anything like the Bayer Advanced again. sorry

Afternoon Judilyn:Like the other customers who responded, I also received my plastic jar of Stakich royal jelly bee pollen unsealed. Normally, it would of raised concern and my wanting to return the product in fear of it being tempered with. But I knew in advance that I bought directly from the manufacturer, Stakich Inc. and fulfilled by Amazon so I knew it wasn't another unknown 3rd party that was selling their products. That made me feel better in using the royal jelly unsealed. I hope this helps you. Have a good night.

If I remember correctly, this is from Columbus, OH. Where it actually comes from, I don't know. The website of the company is www.rootnaturally.com. You might be able to find the state of origin there.

The package says: Stakich, Inc. Bloomfield Hills, MI. Product of USA. "The bee hives are kept in unsprayed fields allowing honey bees to collect only the finest nectar from wild flowers." That's all I got! Hope it helps :)

For some reason I am thinking they were raised in California because they are Kirkland. I have been pleased with the Kirkland walnuts from Amazon. I have no idea if they have been sprayed or not.

I could not determine where it originated but was reassured by it being manufactured in the U.S. and meeting the standards and verified as allergen-free and non-GMO. The manufacturer has an email and phone number on its website that may have additional information (www.nutrigold.com).

My guess and it's a guess - is it's a shipping note; shipments after May and prior to September would not be safe in the US, where the company is headquartered, because the heat would damage the product. The same mark is on a similar product I purchased at a local store five days ago. My thoughts. If you need a better answer, I would contact Burt's Bees directly.

I transferred this to a glass, air tight container for long term storage, instead of leaving in the plastic "jar" it came in. So unfortunately, I don't have the container any longer. However, their website states that it's "native to Sri Lanka and Southern India". You may want to contact them directly for more information. Their website is indusorganics.com. I hope you find the information you're looking for. This true cinnamon is definitely worth the additional cost and then some. &#128077; &#128079;

Having grown up with a father who was a commercial beekeeper and doing some myself, I can tell you that all commercially and locally sold pollen is collected from the fields by the bees who then take it to the hives. As they enter the hives, the pollen is literally trapped by "pollen traps" which is collected by the beekeeper who then packages and sells the pollen. It would be an almost impossibility for a human to gather pollen in any significant amount. This is one reason why it is always called "bee pollen". It is only called that due to the fact that bees collect it. They don't manufacture it as the plants are the only thing that can. As a side note, the process of bees gathering pollen to take back to the hives to feed the babies actually pollinates the plants. This is why it is so crucial that bees be protected from anything that can kill them such as Monsanto's sprays which have been documented as being part of the problem for Colony Collapse Disorder.

This was purchased as a gift for someone so I cannot provide personal experience. I can say that the reason I purchased it is because RAW honey produced in the area where someone lives contains minute pollen from the area so it can help desensitize people with allergies.

How can someone say it's organic honey when bees can fly wherever they want? The beehives are specifically placed in isolated areas away from any type of contamination (golf courses, agricultural areas, heavy traffic areas and landfills). By placing the hives far from agricultural areas, they can avoid GMOs. I hope this helps. David

Hi Leighann,The company is based in Baltimore, Maryland. However, the bee farms are actually all located in upstate New York. -Adriel LubarskyNaturalSweetiewww.NaturalSweetie.biz

Yes. The flowers and plants used in creating these lovely oils and perfumes are indigenous from Israel. They are altogether lovely!

Seriously??? Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm sure it is some kind of "Palm Cancer" California passed out like candy back in the 50's...If you check the labels on just about ANYTHING you buy these days, California says it will cause cancer...Like Vanilla ice Cream, for example..."Who'duh'thot?"
