The pollen is collected by the bees and transported to the beehive to be stored in the alveoli near the brood area, where it undergoes a fermentation process, as forming the bee bread. It is used as food by the adult bees, mainly at the phase of the royal jelly and wax production and supplied to the larvae during the last three larvae feeding days.
