And even bee stings for a human body, perhaps, heard everyone about advantage of honey, propolis, flower pollen. But there is one more product made by bees toilers which is much less known to a wide range of people. It is about a unique product of a bortnichestvo — a perga, or as still it is called, bee bread.
The description from where undertakes
Has such rather small popularity for broad masses of people of a perg only for the reason that known in scientific community it became only three-four decades ago. Of course, the professional beekeepers, people devoted to the business knew about this extremely valuable product of bees much earlier, than scientists. Generations of people which restored the health successfully used this knowledge, maintained vital energy and perg rejuvenated by means of various waste products of bees, including.
Whether you know? Scientists became interested pergy in the late seventies thanks to athletes who used bee bread why became more hardy instead of the forbidden doping and set new records.
Many people dislike honey for luscious and sweet taste. A fine flavoring alternative without damage to curative properties is the perga. Its taste sweet-sour with bitterness notes, very pleasant, it is usually compared to taste of rye bread with honey. Received the name bee bread of a perg not only for the tastes. As for the person the main food product is bread, so for a bee — a perg.
Learn what honey with propolis and also Dyagileva, chestnut, lime, and white honey is useful.
This product is necessary for all members of bee family for survival during the winter period, it contains all nutrients, necessary for life. Such food is especially important for younger generation — larvae of bees, bees wet nurses and drones for strengthening of sexual functions. Externally bee bread represents firm granules of non-uniform color from light yellow to saturated-brown. It is not surprising as pollen of different plants differs in color, and the perga for 90% consists of flower pollen. Another 10% make special enzymes of bee saliva and flower nectar for pasting of weight and its laying in cells. After that cells are sealed by honey which interferes with air access. In such Wednesday closed from external influences (temperature and humidity of a bee are supported at the identical level), flower pollen is modified in even more useful and the acquired product is better. For receiving a unique biological product there have to pass not less than 15 days.
Whether you know? During the season one bee family is capable to collect more than 30 kg of a perga which part is withdrawn by beekeepers for the needs.
Chemical composition
As a perga — the only food of bees during the winter period, it contains all nutrients, vitamins and amino acids necessary for activity of a living organism in the structure. Also the human body as biochemical processes of all living beings are similar is not an exception. The solution of advantage of bee bread is in its chemical composition.
Honey is often used in traditional medicine, and with its help it is also possible to lose weight.
Are a part of this unique substance:
- proteins, fats and carbohydrates (fructose and glucose);
- vitamins (And, E, C, D, K, P, PP, B1, B2, B3, B6, except B12);

The unique combination of all these elements allows to provide almost absolute digestion of useful substances with a human body.
Whether you know? The Perga for 30–40% consists of the proteins necessary for a human body therefore the product is demanded among professional athletes. At the same time caloric content quite low, in 100 g of bee bread contains only 196 kcal.
It is possible to speak only about the approximate chemical composition of bee bread. Contents micro and macrocells of a bee treasure is directly connected with that, where exactly bees collected pollen for a perga. The structure will differ at the product collected on a meadow, in the field, in a garden or in the forest. Even the quantity of sunlight received by a flower from which the hardworking bee collected pollen will influence structure of a curative product. But anyway bee bread will remain permanently nutritious and energetically valuable product.

As it is correct to accept
That treatment of pergy brought benefit, it is necessary to know how it is correct to use it. It is known that bee bread is useful and shown to application both to adults, and children, but Regulations of Admission will differ.
Adult
For the purpose of the general strengthening of an organism and completion of a lack of vitamins or nutrients and also prevention of various diseases the adult is recommended to use daily no more than 5 grams of a perga (one teaspoon without top). The day norm is recommended to be divided into two receptions: in the morning on an empty stomach for half an hour to food (1/2 teaspoons) and in the evening also for half an hour to food (1/2 teaspoons). Evening reception has to be not later than 18:00 as a product very active; if to use before going to bed, can cause insomnia or violation of the mode of a dream.
Important! Be careful, reception of a perga is on an empty stomach capable to lower arterial blood pressure sharply.
The maximum digestion of all useful substances of a perga is promoted by saliva enzymes therefore it is recommended to rassasyvat a product in a mouth before full dissolution, without washing down. If to swallow as a tablet, and to wash down with water, the effect will be much less. Bee bread should be taken courses on one month. Between courses a break is taken 1-2 months. So, in a year it is possible to do three courses, for example, in October, January and March, and four courses, for example, in October, December, February and April are possible. If the taste of honey is pleasant to you, then use bee bread in combination with honey, the complex of useful effects will be provided for 100%. Some experts in the medical purposes recommend to accept up to 30 grams of bee bread in day! Do not risk so!
To children
In this question of opinion of experts differ. Some consider that children can give a perga since year age. Only the standard daily rate should not exceed 1-2 granules. Not all children are ready to use voluntarily a perga in granules, perhaps, it is worth changing a form — for example, it is possible to taste bee bread in the form of paste with honey. Even if in such option the reception of a perga is not pleasant to the child, it is necessary only to process a dry perga in the coffee grinder and to add to the ready cooled porridge.
Offer such day children's doses of the granulated perga:
- 1–3 years — from 1 to 3 granules;
- 3–6 years — no more than ¼ teaspoons;
- 7–9 years — no more than 1/3 teaspoons;
- 10–12 years — no more than ½ teaspoons.
Important! Long excess of admissible doses of a perga can lead to a gipervitaminoz, serious disorders of digestive tract or an allergy.
Other experts hold the opinion that before execution the child of three years cannot begin reception of a perga as digestive tract got stronger not enough. The children's dosage of bee bread is counted so: to divide a day dosage of the adult into 70 (the average weight of the adult) and to increase by the child's weight. Then we divide the received value into two receptions: morning and evening. If for the first two-three days no by-effects are revealed, it is necessary to increase a dosage by 50% as the children's organism needs bigger quantity vitamin and nutrients, than the adult. Remember that to children, as well as adults, it is necessary to accept a perga monthly courses with breaks. It is recommended to refrain from the use of a perga for the night as the perga works excitingly and children badly fall asleep. This council is supported by all experts without exception. For children any house procedures, especially with use of biologically active agents, have to be agreed with the local pediatrician.
National recipes

How to store
The most quality bee bread contains in cells, only in it also the period of storage small is a lot of wax. After extraction from a beehive the period of storage of bee bread in cells should not exceed four months.
Pastelike form of a perga. For receiving paste bee bread is milled and mixed with honey. Such structure suits not all because of the content in it of honey and appearance not too attractive. But bee bread in the form of paste will not lose the curative properties for a year and even longer. For storage and the use the perga in the form of granules is optimum, they are cleaned from hundreds and can be stored year and more. But at long storage of a granule of bee bread have property to dry and to partially lose the properties. Therefore to stock up pergy for the future it is not recommended. Storage of bee bread in the dark place at a temperature from +2 to +10 °C is optimum for any kind of a perga. The room should not be crude that the mold did not develop. The fridge for storage of a bee product — quite suitable place. That the humidity of the fridge did not spoil a valuable product, the perga has to be in glasswares with densely closed cover. In the freezer and at the room temperature of a perg loses the properties.
Important! Bee bread needs to be protected from a mold in crude rooms and from a wax moth in dry rooms.
