I really want to buy bee pollen but I have no idea where to buy it.? - Sally - 05-20-2014 01:29 PM
I've been looking for a good place to buy Bee Pollen for literally like a month and a half now. I'm freaking out because there's no way to find out for sure if the website is selling the authentic product, that I know of?? I just need to know for sure before I buy it, I'm not about to risk it and take something crazy. There's just too many fake websites and I don't want to risk it. Is there any way to tell which ones are fake and which ones aren't? I want to find out for sure before I buy. I don't want to have to wait until I pay for it and it gets to my house before I realize it's counterfeit and I cant use it. So if anyone knows of anyyy way you can tell for sure whether or not a website is selling the authentic product, it would be really helpful. Thanks!

I do 99% of my shopping on amazon.com.

Try Amazon.com.

Good suggestions for using Amazon.. or other websites with a good reputation AND a good return/refund policy. * Even on Amazon, check the policy if you buy from a 3rd party- amazon won't always guarantee the purchase.
Find a farm / farmers market and ask them about fresh honey and bee pollen producers. Most farmers in No. America hire a bee keeper to pollinate the fields for them, actually renting a few bee hives for a few weeks each season. Try a local coop : http://www.localharvest.org/store/bee-prods.jsp
Just be careful - even the real thing can be dangerous if you are allergic.
Plus, I respect and enjoy Gary Null's work.. even today he's still got a (nearly) daily radio show.. but he and bee pollen were the subject of an FTC matter a few years back.

.. Like I said, I respect Mr. Null, so I assume he was taken in by shady business partners. While I think his advice is usually based in truth and good intentions, I also think that western medicine has a place that can be excluded.
