The yellow stuff pulled out by bees is probably bee pollen. Pollen is part of the reproductive cells of plants and is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is important for the growth and development of bees. Bees collect pollen from flowers and mix it with saliva and honey to form pollen pellets, which they bring back to the hive for storage and consumption.
Pollen pellets are used as an important component of honey and royal jelly in bee hives and are one of the main foods for bee larvae and adults. Bees store the pollen pellets in pollen jars in the hive, and through fermentation and processing with the bees' saliva, the nutrients in the pollen pellets are released and processed, making them easier to digest and absorb.
Pollen pellets are also a nutrient-dense food for humans and are thought to have a variety of health benefits, including boosting immunity, improving digestion, increasing energy levels, and more. Therefore, pollen balls are often used as health foods or additives.
