Yes – surprising as it may sound, bee dung is manure as much as the more common cattle dung. Ever noticed small yellow dots on your car’s windows and wondered? Presence of those yellow dots is a sign that bee population is active enough in the locality, helping us eat every day. Those yellow dots are bee dung. Let’s see how bee dung enters your food chain.
Pollen and nectar collected by honey bees is then processed in the hive into food. After digestion, like all creatures, bees too need to get rid of left over, indigestible indigestible matter consisting of all the pollen granules minus their nutritious inner sections. To ‘relieve themselves’, bees leave the hive and let out the pollen remains that look like yellow liquid, whether or not the bees have upset stomachs!
