New Zealand is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt countries on this planet today. It has escaped massive industrial development and its population of 4 million means that agriculture can still be sustained without resorting to GMOs. It is also close enough to the empty continent of the Antarctic to benefit from the cooling and pure winds from its icy wastes. It has no extreme climate patterns either. These are the main reasons why New Zealand bee pollen is considered the best and the safest in the world.

But there are other factors that make it a very safe haven for bees and indeed for agriculture which is one of its main economic mainstays. The main factor is that it has so far refused to allow GMOs . This move was supported by over 66% of visitors surveyed recently for the Rugby World Cup who said that they thought that New Zealand should NOT opt for GMO in its food, agriculture and its wonderful environment.

Another reason why New Zealand bee pollen is probably the best in the world is that the manuka bush is used by many of the bees for collecting bee pollen although there are lots of other plants too. But the manuka honey and bee pollen is rather special in that it has what is called the ‘Unique Manuka Factor’ by scientists which is very active in fighting various bacteria which have been resistant to antibiotics. This is studied in a special department at The University of Waikato there.

There are many companies in New Zealand who are processing bee pollen and bee products in general. They are all working to different standards but there are very few companies who are actually following GMP standards which are actually not compulsory at all as far as the New Zealand government is concerned. But this gives us an idea of how seriously these companies take their work. They are committed to using the best and safest ingredients in processing and that ensures maximum safety for our health.

When we think of the benefits that bee pollen can give us, we are very impressed. It can help with skin problems, assist with prostate disorders in men, enhance libido and sex drive, assist with weight loss and can slow the effects of aging. When we think that all these benefits are coming from a product produced in the cleanest and most pristine environment on the planet, then we know that this is really a great supplement to take.
