Allergies to bee stings, can I take bee pollen?

Good morning:

I am allergic to bee stings so am wondering if I can still take bee pollen capsules and Royal Jelly? Many thanks.

Great question. I need to preface my answer with this - I am not a medical doctor so I can't legally advise people on medical issues. You should always consult with your doctor on severe allergy issues before taking any supplement. That being said, there is no bee venom in bee pollen. You are allergic to the venom, not the pollens in the bee pollen granules. If you decide to give bee pollen a try, start out with only one granule at a time and increase this amount daily by one granule for a month IF you don't show any signs of reacting badly. And as always, check with your doctor and let him know what you are doing.
