Bee pollen is found on the stamen of all flower blossoms, which collectively sticks to the legs of honeybees as they move from flower to flower when they are looking for nectar. The bees then secrete special enzymes and nectar into the flower pollen to create what we call as bee pollen. This amazing food is collected by placing a special device at the entrance of beehives that brushes it from the hind legs of the bees into a collection vessel.
