Does anyone harvest beebread?  I have seen a couple of Youtube videos on how to harvest it, but I am wondering more about what you do with it after you harvest it.  I have heard a lot about folks trapping pollen before it actually gets in the hive and selling this to folks as a dietary supplement, but wouldn't there be more benefit from the beebread?  I mean it is sort of like--should we get a hold of the nectar before the bees process it into honey?  Of course not.  But I don't know what the benefits of beebread would be for us humans.  A great protein source I suppose, but then that is already the case as just plain pollen.  Any explanations of the benefits (or perceived benefits) are appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle
