flower pollen

Floral reproductive powder

Flower pollen is the fine powdery substance produced by the male parts of flowers, containing the cells needed for plant reproduction.

Bees collect it as a protein source, and it's sold as a health supplement.

For many people, airborne pollen triggers seasonal allergies: My flower pollen allergies are terrible in spring.
