Bee pollen is a natural honey bee product that is considered a valuable resource for nutrients and energy. It is a health-enhancing value because of its wide variety of primary and secondary plant metabolites and enzymes and co-enzymes. Therefore, bee pollen is especially appreciated by consumers and used as an alternative drug. It has antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antianemic, anticarcinogenic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and immuneenhancing effects. In this paper, bee pollen will be evaluated briefly in terms of chemical content, biological effects and toxicity
