I am sceptical of bee products. Some of the so-called "raw" honey I have bought has given me some unpleasant symptoms, suggesting that it might have been lightly pasteurised(UK law allows honey to be called "raw" as long as it has only been heated up to 80 degrees Celsius for a short while). I also become very hot after eating any sundried bee pollen. I will admit that the royal jelly I got which was authentically raw, albeit prefrozen, was very energy-giving, though tasted foul.
